Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Bell, sentence 66

The sea, the great majestic sea, which was rolling its long waves against the shore, stretched out before him, and the sun was standing like a large bright altar and there where sea and heaven met--all melted together in the most glowing colours; the wood was singing, and his heart too.

Who acts: great majestic sea, sun, sea, wood · What happens: roll, stretch out, stand, meet, melt, glow · To what, where: long waves, shore, sea, glowing colours, heart
