In Ghostly Japan, Story of a Tengu[1], sentence 62

Seaward, over leagues of water, there is a grand view,—a jagged blue range of peaks crowding sharply into the horizon, like prodigious amethysts,—and beyond them, to the left, the glorious spectre of Fuji, towering enormously above everything.

Who acts: grand view, peaks, jagged blue range · What happens: be, crowd, tower · To what, where: horizon, everything
