Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Everything in the Right Place, sentence 89

It is the fallacy of the time, and many poets express it, to say that all that is noble is bad and stupid, and that, on the contrary, the lower one goes among the poor, the more brilliant virtues one finds.

Who acts: Nobility, many poets, all, lower one, one · What happens: be, express, say, go, find · To what, where: fallacy, Nobility, brilliant virtues, poor · Speech: someone speaks here
