The joy of the builder swept over him like a wave. He was within the rising walls again, his hands among the gray-blue shapes, the measured stroke of the mallet swinging for the shifting chisel, the throb of steel going through his arms, the grind of stone was under his hands the stone dat dry upon his lips, his eyes quick and keen, his arms bared, the shirt at his breast open and his whole body tense and tuned to the desire of the conscious builder. Once more he moved about the carpet of splinters, the grateful crunch beneath his feet, his little work a world of stubborn things, rejoicing in his power of direction and mastery over it all.
