Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Story of the Year, sentence 94

Here sat the lovely wife of Summer, the same whom we have seen as a child and a bride; her eyes were fixed on dark gathering clouds, which in wavy outlines of black and indigo were piling themselves up like mountains, higher and higher.

Who acts: we · What happens: sit, see, fix, pile up · To what, where: lovely wife, eyes, dark gathering clouds
