The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 3, sentence 79

Here Levarcam a moment stopped for breath; Then Deirdré rose and sought the neighbouring strand: Ice-bound it was, and cold that hour as death: To her ’twas warm as mead by May breeze fanned: She paced along its pebbly beach for hours; And to her feet its shingles felt like flowers.

Who acts: moment, Deirdré, twas, shingles · What happens: stop, rise, seek, fan, pace, feel · To what, where: cold, neighbouring strand, pebbly beach
