Did you not like building the church-tower in our town?

Solness.

I didn’t like it. I know how free and happy I felt when that tower was finished.

Hilda.

I know that, too.

Solness.

And now I shall never—never build anything of that sort again! Neither churches nor church-towers.

Hilda.

[Nods slowly.] Nothing but houses for people to live in.
