WOODMYTH & FABLE 



he polished and he filed, for half his life- 

 time, till he had carried out the exact form 

 of the finger-tip and the nail and the 

 wrinkles on the joint. He even suggested 

 the grain of the skin and implanted some 

 scattering hairs. Last of all, he painted 

 it flesh-color and placed dirt under the 

 nail, for he was a Realist. 



Now the people came, and when they 

 saw how like a finger-tip the lump of 

 stone had become and how very real the 

 dirt was, they all fell down and wor- 

 shiped. They said, "This is a great 

 Master," and they loaded the Realist 

 with honors and riches. 



It was many years before kind nature 

 restored the rugged surface of the colossus. 



Moral : It 's the add of Time that
