Temple


There’s nothing ill can dwell in such a temple: If the ill spirit have so fair a house, Good things will strive to dwell with ’t. Shakespeare.—Tempest, Act I. Scene 2. (Miranda to Prospero.)	1
All unfit in such a pile to dwell. Churchill.—The Rosciad, Line 897.	2
Then tower’d the palace, then in awful state, The temple rear’d its everlasting gate, No workman’s steel, no ponderous axes rung: Like some tall palm the noiseless fabric sprung. Heber.—Palestine, Page 45, ed. 1812.	3
Silently as a dream the fabric rose; No sound of hammer, or of saw was there. Cowper.—The Task, Book 5, Line 144. (The Winter Morning Walk.)	4
There was neither hammer nor axe, nor any tool of iron heard in the house while it was building. Holy Bible.—1 Kings, Chap. vi. Ver. 7.	5
No man saw the building of the New Jerusalem, the workmen crowded together, the unfinished walls and unpaved streets; no man heard the clink of trowel and pickaxe; it descended out of heaven from God. Anonymous.—Ecce Homo, Page 310.	6
And I John saw the holy city New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven. Holy Bible.—Revelation of St. John the Divine, Chap. xxi. Ver. 2.	7
