Tanglewood Tales, The Golden Fleece., part 5, sentence 74

Gleaming among the venerable oaks, there was a radiance, not like the moonbeams, but rather resembling the golden glory of the setting sun. It proceeded from an object, which appeared to be suspended at about a man's height from the ground, a little farther within the wood.

Who acts: Gleaming, radiance, glory, object, setting sun. · What happens: gleam, be, not like, resemble, proceed, appear · To what, where: venerable oaks, radiance, moonbeams, setting sun., object, height
