27 And then there came into the temple a giant goat, of a stature far above other goats, and the goat was carrying a hammer. 28 And so I said unto the goat, “Goat, whyfore dost thou carry such a hammer?” And the goat looked him deep into my eyes, with an expression like unto the expression of a sage, or of a constipated day-laborer, and he spake unto me thus: 29 “I bear this hammer for it is a hammer of great weight, such as to be tiresome and unwieldy for any of you mortal two-legged men to bear or wield, 30 for though many of you be of no mean wit, yet none among you possess strength enough to be the bearer of such a hammer as this. And so it is given to me to bear, though not to wield. 31 To another, it is written, shall the wielding of such a hammer be given.” 32 And having spake thus unto me, the goat did turn and pass from the temple, and out into the darkness that lay without.
