Maori folk-tales of the Port Hills, Canterbury, New Zealand, The Story of the Rocks., sentence 21

Such bold crags are “the eyebrows of the hills”; they give what would otherwise be tame landscapes dignity and force and wildness, and an exploration of these fastnesses of Nature so near our doors, and opened up by the Summit Road, is not merely pleasurable, but is fruitful in an intelligent appreciation of the amazing forces which helped to mould the land in which we live.

Who acts: Such bold crags, crags, amazing forces, we · What happens: be, give, open up, not be, help, live · To what, where: eyebrows, doors, tame landscapes, intelligent appreciation, mould, land · Speech: someone speaks here
