Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Psyche, sentence 205

Supposing everything here were, like the world I have quitted, only a beautiful fancy, a delusion like the beauty of the evening clouds, like the misty blue of the distant hills!--when you approach them, they are very different!

Who acts: Supposing, I, you, hills · What happens: suppose, be, quitt, approach · To what, where: everything, beautiful fancy, hills
