The order of making the wall brought about
An order of wall making which included the opening.
Then came the column,
Which was an automatic kind of order,
Making that which was opening,
And that which was not opening.
A rhythm of openings was then decided by the wall itself,
Which was then no longer a wall,
But a series of columns and openings.
Such realizations come out of nothing in nature.
They come out of a mysterious kind of sense
That man has to express those wonders of the soul which demand expression.
