More money for his book, but scarcely gain as much.

CXXIV

To this it was, this same primeval monument,

That, in my dream, I saw building with building blent

Fall: each on each they fast and founderingly went

Confusion-ward; but thence again subsided fast,

Became the mound you see. Magnificently massed

Indeed, those mammoth-stones, piled by the Protoplast

Temple-wise in my dream! beyond compare with fanes

Which, solid-looking late, had left no least remains
