Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Psyche, sentence 7

Then already the palace of the Caesars was a ruin, as it is now; fig trees and laurels grew among the fallen marble columns, and in the desolate bathing-halls, where the gilding still clings to the wall; the Coliseum was a gigantic ruin; the church bells sounded, the incense sent up its fragrant cloud, and through the streets marched processions with flaming tapers and glowing canopies.

Who acts: palace, fig trees, gilding, Coliseum, church bells, incense · What happens: be, grow, fall, desolate, cling, sound · To what, where: ruin, desolate bathing halls, gigantic ruin, incense, fragrant cloud, processions
