Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter V, sentence 15

A sun beamed thence that filled the air with sparkle and the sea with a thousand lights, and looking on these he was reminded of his home at Tara: of the columns of white and yellow bronze that blazed out sunnily on the sun, and the red and white and yellow painted roofs that beamed at and astonished the eye.

Who acts: sun, white bronze, red painted roofs · What happens: beam, fill, look, remind, blaze out, paint · To what, where: sun, air, eye
