Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Psyche, sentence 223
The Star glowed in the roseate air, the Star that shall surely be extinguished and pass away while the soul still lives on; its trembling beam fell upon the white wall, but it wrote nothing there upon being made perfect in God, nothing of the hope of mercy, of the reliance on the divine love that thrills through the heart of the believer.
Who acts: Star, soul, trembling beam, God, divine love, mercy · What happens: glow, extinguish, pass away, live on, fall, write · To what, where: roseate air, Star, white wall, nothing, heart
