The Sampo: A Wonder Tale of the Old North, The Land of Tuonela, sentence 17

For six days—yes, for seven painful days he toiled through thickets of thorns; for seven eventful days he cut his way through a magic wilderness of hazel; for seven other days he groped through dark hedges of juniper and tangled masses of wild briars; and then, for three times seven days he wandered through desert lands and wide wastes of snow where there was no shelter from the storm and no place to rest his weary feet.

Who acts: seven painful days, E · What happens: toil, cut, grope, tangle, wander, be · To what, where: thickets, way, magic wilderness, dark hedges, masses, seven days
