I had never before been able to climb up to a great, free height. But that day I did it. (HILDA: Yes, yes, you did!) And when I stood there, high over everything, and was hanging the wreath over the vane, I said to him: Hear me now, thou Mighty One! From this day forward I will be a free builder--I too, in my sphere--just as thou in thine. I will never more build churches for thee--only homes for human beings. (HILDA: That was the song that I heard through the air!) But afterwards his turn came.
