The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 9, sentence 19
A stately terrace clustered round with towers, And jubilant with music’s merry din, Beaten by resonant waves, and bright with flowers: There--but apart--she stood that wrought the sin, Like one that broods on one black thought alone Seen o’er a world of happy hopes o’erthrown.
Who acts: stately terrace, that, music · What happens: cluster, beat, stand, wrought, brood, o'erthrown · To what, where: stately terrace, sin, Seen, happy hopes
