The Sampo: A Wonder Tale of the Old North, The Smithy, sentence 19

It was dark and dingy and begrimed with smoke, but through the open door the fire of the forge glowed brightly, lighting up the whole interior and revealing even the smallest object; and there, before his anvil, stood the Smith, swinging his hammer and twirling his tongs and thinking only of his pleasant work.

Who acts: music, fire, anvil · What happens: be, begrime, glow, light up, reveal, stand · To what, where: open door, whole interior, smallest object, Smith, hammer, tongs
