It is such a delightful thing to a preacher to watch a multitude waiting spellbound beneath his eloquence in rapt attention, or swept by waves of emotion; but that multitude may disperse, the great end of preaching still unwrought and the whole attempt a splendid failure.
And as his persons have something of the unwrought stone about them, so, as if to realise the expression by which the old Florentine records describe a sculptor master of live stone with him the very rocks seem to have life; they have but to cast away the dust and scurf that they may rise and stand on their feet.
The smiths thereupon armed themselves with their hammers, and tongs, and fire-poles, and great bars of unwrought brass, and Culain himself seized an anvil withal to lay waste the ranks of the Red Branch.
