Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Thorny Road of Honor, sentence 73
O human race, canst thou grasp the happiness of such a minute of consciousness, this penetration of the soul by its mission, the moment in which all dejection, and every wound--even those caused by one's own fault--is changed into health and strength and clearness--when discord is converted to harmony--the minute in which men seem to recognize the manifestation of the heavenly grace in one man, and feel how this one imparts it to all?
Who acts: thou, discord, men, one · What happens: grasp, cause, change, be, seem, recognize · To what, where: happiness, wound, health, manifestation, soul, heavenly grace
