And there saw I a scene which I still think of as one of the most pathetic of my long life of sight-seeing. The strong men had first attempted to break away the bank of the stream, but this they found to be quite impossible. The sides of the water- way were of solid rock, and to cut a channel through one or other of them must prove to be the work not of hours, but of many moons. So now every man had a different plan, and each was pursuing his own device. Some were pre- paring places for the tim...ber levers in readiness for the arrival of the carpenters and oxen, others were prospecting the banks in the direc- tion of the mountain, hoping to find a fissure in the rock which might be used to divert the course of the stream ; and the blacksmith, his head and his great arms bare, the perspiration running down his face and falling in a stream 1 1 8 The Gods Give My Donkey Wings from his smooth chin, he, having chosen a cor- ner of the boulder which topped the running waters, swung his sledgehammer around his head and brought it down ring, ring, ring, ever on the same place.
