Legends and tales of the Harz Mountains, Legends and Tales., part 14, sentence 74

In one of the marble basins a stone vintager upset continually the cask, and the clear, foaming new wine that streamed from the bung-hole bubbled up in the face of the sipping boy; in another an idol, ending in a fish's tail, blew out of a shell the clear stream in the air, and the dust of drops shone in the light like diamonds and rubies.

Who acts: stone vintager, new wine, idol · What happens: upset, foam, stream, bubble up, sip, end · To what, where: cask, new wine, bung hole, face, tail, shell
