Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Psyche, sentence 180
And when, in the evening, at the sunset hour, he stood in his little cell, and, opening the window, looked out upon old Rome, upon the desolated temples, and the great dead Coliseum--when he saw all this in its spring garb, when the acacias bloomed, and the ivy was fresh, and roses burst forth everywhere, and the citron and orange were in the height of their beauty, and the palm trees waved their branches--then he felt a deeper emotion than had ever yet thrilled through him.
Who acts: Brother, acacias, ivy, roses, citron, palm trees · What happens: stand, open, look out, desolate, see, bloom · To what, where: little cell, window, this, spring garb, height, branches
