Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid, part 3, sentence 12

You will still have the same floating gracefulness of movement, and no dancer will ever tread so lightly; but at every step you take it will feel as if you were treading upon sharp knives, and that the blood must flow.

Who acts: You, dancer, it, blood · What happens: have, float, tread, take, feel, flow · To what, where: same floating gracefulness, sharp knives
