Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, VII. the Eagle's Nest, sentence 41

Vertigo, although he could not reach him, blew the poisonous vapor in his face, to make him giddy and faint; and beneath, in the dark, yawning deep, on the rushing waters, sat the Ice Maiden, with her long, pale, green hair falling around her, and her death-like eyes fixed upon him, like the two barrels of a gun. "

Who acts: Vertigo, dark, green hair · What happens: not reach, blow, make, yawn, rush, sit · To what, where: Rudy, poisonous vapor, rushing waters, Ice Maiden, like eyes
