He gazed; and, though incapable of fear, Awe, such as heroes feel, possessed his heart: Its beatings shook his brain: his corporal mould Throbbed as a branch against some river swift; And backward turned his hair like berried trails Of thorn athwart the hedge.

Who acts: strength, heroes, incapable, beatings, Portent · What happens: gaze, feel, possess, shake, throb, turn · To what, where: Awe, heart, brain, corporal mould, hair
