From each day's need, out of each day's least gain.[581]
"Thus[582] all was re-established, and a pile
Constructed, that sufficed for every end,
Save the contentment of the builder's mind;

A mind intolerant of lasting peace,
And cherishing the pang her heart deplored.[583]

To the agitation of a brook that runs
