It is before day-break that the loud bell has awakened the household slaves and set them to their work. In the road below and away in the city the carts, which are forbidden during the full daytime, are still rumbling with their loads of produce or building-material.
She flew down the road, with the white dust flying behind her, until she reached a big limestone quarry, where the calcareous building-material of the town is sawn out in great blocks, and there she made a sharp turn and dashed down in among the stones.
And they have made money at it hauling freight, merchandise from the main line, building-material, farming implements everything which had to go into Crawfordsville; hauling farm produce from the new settlement back into Bolton.
There is as little beauty in the architecture of the Crystal Palace, however, as was possible to be with such gigantic use of such a material. No doubt, an architectural order of which we have as yet little or no idea is to be developed from the use of glass as a building-material, instead of brick and stone.
It is building-material, oak, pine, birch, whichever you prefer. Abstract every individual characteristic, generalise as you will, the wood, the hyle, always remains. And you will have it that thought, or even the thinker, originated from this wood. Do you really believe that there is an outer world such as we see, hear, or feel? Where have we a tree, except in our imagination?
The bird lives with its mate all the year round, much of the time with its grown-up young, in its nest a large structure, in which so much building-material is used that the bird is called in the vernacular Lenatero, or Firewood-gatherer.
His defiance of all ordinary means of doing things was shown in his preference for bringing much of his building-material over the trail instead of around by the Smoky Creek road. A good part of the lumber that went into his house was packed over the Gridley trail.
The houses along this street were all low, square, flat-roofed structures made of some kind of red cement. It occurred to her suddenly that this building-material must be the adobe she had read about. There was no person in sight. The long street appeared to have no end, though the line of houses did not extend far.
This stone, when laid in and covered over with cement, forms a very durable building-material. The castle, which stands upon the island of Ulua, is now fast going to decay. As a fortification it is no longer of great value, although it is computed that more than $16,000,000 was expended in its erection.
If concepts actually express what is common, general, unspecific, what should make us feel the need of recasting them when we apply them to a new object? Does not their ground, their utility, and their interest exactly consist in sparing us this labour? We regard them as elaborated once for all. They are building-material, ready-hewn blocks, which we have only to bring together.
