Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, What the Moon Saw, sentence 20

Some great gifted painter, or some poet or musician, may make something more of them if he likes; what I have given here are only hasty sketches, hurriedly put upon the paper, with some of my own thoughts, interspersed; for the Moon did not come to me every evening--a cloud sometimes hid his face from me.

Who acts: Some, great gifted painter, painter, Moon, cloud, my · What happens: gift, painter, make, like, give, be · To what, where: something, hasty sketches, paper, me, face
