And like the horns of the waxing moon, her limbs rounded and swelled into the very perfect orb of supreme loveliness, and she became as it were the very salt of the sea of beauty[5], inspiring in all who drank of it insatiable thirst, and an intolerable craving for the water of the blue lakes of her eyes.

Who acts: limbs, Shrí, loveliness · What happens: wax, round, swell, become, be, drink · To what, where: perfect orb, intolerable craving, salt, all, insatiable thirst
