Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Psyche, sentence 25
He had warm blood, a strong imagination, and could take part in the merry chat, and laugh aloud with the rest; but what they called 'Raphael's merry life' disappeared before him like a vapor when he saw the divine radiance that beamed forth from the pictures of the great master; and when he stood in the Vatican, before the forms of beauty which the masters had hewn out of marble thousands of years since, his breast swelled, and he felt within himself something high, something holy, something elevating, great and good, and he wished that he could produce similar forms from the blocks of marble.
Who acts: Fornarina, blood, divine radiance, breast · What happens: have, take, laugh, call, disappear, see · To what, where: warm blood, part, merry chat, merry life, divine radiance, pictures · Speech: someone speaks here
