Tanglewood Tales, Circe's Palace., part 1, sentence 8

After going through such troubles as these, you cannot wonder that King Ulysses was glad to moor his tempest-beaten bark in a quiet cove of the green island, which I began with telling you about.

Who acts: you, Ulysses, green island · What happens: go, not wonder, be, moor, beat, begin · To what, where: such troubles, beaten bark, quiet cove, you · Speech: someone speaks here
