Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, In the Uttermost Parts of the Sea, sentence 14

Every day he read in the book, and while stretched on his cold couch, the holy words he had learnt would come into his mind: "If I take the wings of the morning, and fly to the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Thou art with me, and Thy right hand shall uphold me;" and under the influence of that faith which these holy words inspired, sleep came upon him, and dreams, which are the manifestations of God to the spirit.

Who acts: eye, holy words, natives, right hand, faith, dreams · What happens: read, stretch, learn, come, take, fly · To what, where: dreams, book, cold couch, holy words, mind, wings · Speech: someone speaks here
