[XIX.]

“Yet man was not.—Then great Cawtantowit spoke

To the hard mountain crags and called for man:

And sculptured, breathing, from the cleaving rock,

Sprang the armed warrior, and a strife began

With living things.—Hard as his native block,

Was his stone heart, and through it ran

Blood cold as ice—and the Great Spirit struck

This cruel man, and him to atoms broke.
