THE SCULPTOR’S RHAPSODY
Reading edition
I am a God! I am drunk with the joy of creating. At my touch form comes out of chaos. With a handful of clay I build monuments, Vaster than the pyramids, More mysterious than the Sphinx, As startling as the Colossus of Rhodes. My statues are austere as ancient cathedrals, Their silhouette effaces the sky, Their shadows engulf entire cities. I am a God! I am drunk with the joy of creating.
