Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Story of the Wind, sentence 38
But one night, when I rose again, the high-born lady lay down to rise again no more; that thing came to her which comes to us all, in which there is nothing new.
Who acts: I, born lady, thing, nothing · What happens: rise, bear, lie down, come, be · To what, where: more, us
