Legends and tales of the Harz Mountains, Legends and Tales., part 4, sentence 21

"Oh!" said he, "such a view has something beautiful in it; but it is only a delusion, a transition period in the history and development of mind, I might say, the Raupenkleid--chrysalis--of education, out of which the splendid and brilliant butterfly of free thought breaks forth, and Science unfolds her golden wings, and in her commanding presence, the old orthodox Bible-faith can never again lift its head.

Who acts: truth, view, splendid butterfly, Science, orthodox faith · What happens: say, have, be, break, unfold, command · To what, where: something, delusion, Raupenkleid, golden wings, head, commanding presence · Speech: someone speaks here
