Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Windmill, sentence 32
"And I must also remain 'myself,' with my throat in my chest, my wings on my head, the gallery round my body; else I should not know myself, nor could the others know me, and say, 'There's the mill on the hill, proud to look at, and yet not proud at all.'"
Who acts: I, others, mill · What happens: remain, not know, know, say, be, look · To what, where: myself, chest, me · Speech: someone speaks here
