Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Cheerful Temper, sentence 39

Here rests,--ah, it makes one feel mournful to think of him!--but here rests a man who, during sixty-seven years, was never remembered to have said a good thing; he lived only in the hope of having a good idea.

Who acts: cord, one, man, hope · What happens: rest, make, feel, think, not remember, say · To what, where: one, man, good thing, hope, good idea · Speech: someone speaks here
