And the veil broke away because of something new

Inside, that pushed to gain an outlet, paused in view

At last, and proved a growth of stone or brick or wood

Which, alien to the aim o' the Builder, somehow stood

The test, could satisfy, if not the early race

For whom he built, at least our present populace,

Who must not bear the blame for what, blamed, proves mishap

Of the Artist: his work gone, another fills the gap,

Serves the prime purpose so. Undoubtedly there spreads

Building around, above, which makes men lift their heads
