Quote by Matthew Arnold
With aching hands and bleeding feet We dig and heap, lay stone

With aching hands and bleeding feet
We dig and heap, lay stone on stone;
We bear the burden and the heat
Of the long day, and wish twere done.
Not till the hours of light return
All we have built as we discern. – Matthew Arnold
