He's a lot more famous as a workman now than six years ago." "What is his work?" Peter asked. "A lens-maker. His art is one of the finest of the human eye requires genius to begin with. Spenski's craft on a glass in many cases doubles the price of the instrument.
"It seems to say," he told the lens-maker, "'I was this at one time, and now I must go." Orders came for Samarc and Spenski, but they were not to be remotely stationed, since their battery was assigned to Kohlvihr's division a different camp but the same field.
It was a curse almost like that cheerful one visited upon Spinoza, the lens-maker, when he forsook the synagogue and took up his home with the Mennonites. Children born and brought up in the Ghetto always felt a certain pity for those who were obliged to live beyond the gates, in the great, selfish, grasping, wicked world.
He might have thought of all this before, as he had thought of death as one thing for the outsider and a different thing for the little lens-maker he liked so well. But this was experience, not conjecture. He was an atom of the charge. The army authority disrupted his moral sense. It bound and gagged him.

Hooper presumed that three hundred thousand would do it all handsomely lens, telescope, land, machinery, building a great monument. "And how much have you guaranteed on the cost of your lens?" "Sixteen thousand dollars, so far." "To be paid when?" "In instalments ten thousand a year for four years. Just enough to keep the lens-maker busy for the present." Cowperwood reflected.
Brashear is practically the one telescope lens-maker of America since Alvan Clark resigned. There is no competition in this line the difficulties are too appalling for the average man. The slightest accident or an unseen flaw, and the work of months or years goes into the dustbin of time, and all must be gone over again.
