Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Anne Lisbeth, sentence 103
From one Shrove Tuesday to another, much may occur to weigh down the heart; it is the reckoning of a whole year; much may be forgotten, sins against heaven in word and thought, sins against our neighbor, and against our own conscience.
Who acts: one, thought · What happens: occur, weigh down, be, forget, sin · To what, where: heart, reckoning, much
