The descent of the sun: A cycle of birth, A Sleep and a Dream., part 1, sentence 18

For he said: Her eyes are like lotuses, and like the pools in which they dwell: and surely they are the very echo of the eyes of the Goddess of Beauty when she rose from the sea, and lay in her blue lotus cradle, lapped by the foam of which she was composed, and gazing at the wondering waves with eyes that mocked them, and robbed them of their hue.

Who acts: King, eyes, echo · What happens: say, be, dwell, rise, lie, lap · To what, where: pools, echo, sea, blue lotus cradle, eyes · Speech: someone speaks here
