Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Marsh King's Daughter, part 4, sentence 38
These effects did not yet appear; she was not herself aware of them; neither does the seed in the lap of earth know, when the refreshing dew and the warm sunbeams fall upon it, that it contains within itself power by which it will flourish and bloom.
Who acts: effects, round, refreshing dew, dew, power · What happens: not appear, not be, do, know, refresh, fall · To what, where: seed, lap, power
