Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Psyche, sentence 255

The man's life had passed away, his dust had been scattered abroad as dust is destined to be; but the result of his noblest striving, the glorious work that gave token of the divine element within him--the Psyche that never dies, that lives beyond posterity--the brightness even of this earthly Psyche remained here after him, and was seen and acknowledged and appreciated.

Who acts: life, glorious work, Psyche, that, earthly Psyche · What happens: pass away, scatter, destine, be, strive, give · To what, where: dust, glorious work, token, posterity
