Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Psyche, sentence 181
The quiet open Campagna spread itself forth towards the blue snow-covered mountains, which seemed to be painted in the air; all the outlines melting into each other, breathing peace and beauty, floating, dreaming--and all appearing like a dream!
Who acts: quiet open Campagna, blue covered mountains, outlines, all · What happens: spread, cover, seem, paint, melt, breathe · To what, where: Campagna, air, each, peace
