Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter VI, sentence 32

“But one time I came, drawn by that intolerable anguish of memory, and all of these people were gone: the place that knew them was silent: in the land where they had moved there was nothing of them but their bones that glinted in the sun.

Who acts: lumbering bear, all, place, land, memory · What happens: come, draw, be, know, move, glint · To what, where: people, nothing, sun.
