Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 6, sentence 39

Two hundred white winters and more have fled from the face of the Summer Since DuLuth, on that wild, somber shore, in the unbroken forest primeval, From the midst of the spruce and the pines, saw the smoke of the wigwams up-curling, Like the fumes from the temples and shrines of the Druids of old in their forests.

Who acts: hundred white winters, wigwams · What happens: flee, see, smoke · To what, where: face, smoke
