He
could
not
choke
it
off
.
He
sat
still
,
over
the
drawings
of
the
bridge
for
the
John
Galt
Line
,
and
heard
the
things
released
by
a
voice
that
was
part
-
sound
,
part
-
sight
:
They
decided
it
without
him
.
.
.
They
did
not
call
for
him
,
they
did
not
ask
,
they
did
not
let
him
speak
.
.
.
They
were
not
bound
even
by
the
duty
to
let
him
know
to
let
him
know
that
they
had
slashed
part
of
his
life
away
and
that
he
had
to
be
ready
to
walk
on
as
a
cripple
.
.
.
Of
all
those
concerned
,
whoever
they
were
,
for
whichever
reason
,
for
whatever
need
,
he
was
the
one
they
had
not
had
to
consider
.
The
sign
at
the
end
of
a
long
road
said
:
Rearden
Ore
.
It
hung
over
black
tiers
of
metal
.
.
.
and
over
years
and
nights
.
.
.
over
a
clock
ticking
drops
of
his
blood
away
.
.
.
the
blood
he
had
given
gladly
,
exultantly
in
payment
for
a
distant
day
and
a
sign
over
a
road
paid
for
with
his
effort
,
his
strength
,
his
mind
,
his
hope
.

Destroyed
at
the
whim
of
some
men
who
sat
and
voted
.
.
.
Who
knows
by
what
minds
?
.
.
.
Who
knows
whose
will
had
placed
them
in
power
?
what
motive
moved
them
?
what
was
their
knowledge
?
which
one
of
them
,
unaided
,
could
bring
a
chunk
of
ore
out
of
the
earth
?
.
.
.
Destroyed
at
the
whim
of
men
whom
he
had
never
seen
and
who
had
never
seen
those
tiers
of
metal
.
.
.
Destroyed
,
because
they
so
decided
.
By
what
right
?
He
shook
his
head
.
There
are
things
one
must
not
contemplate
,
he
thought
.
There
is
an
obscenity
of
evil
which
contaminates
the
observer
.
There
is
a
limit
to
what
it
is
proper
for
a
man
to
see
.
He
must
not
think
of
this
,
or
look
within
it
,
or
try
to
learn
the
nature
of
its
roots
.
Feeling
quiet
and
empty
,
he
told
himself
that
he
would
be
all
right
tomorrow
.
He
would
forgive
himself
the
weakness
of
this
night
,
it
was
like
the
tears
one
is
permitted
at
a
funeral
,
and
then
one
learns
how
to
live
with
an
open
wound
or
with
a
crippled
factory
.

He
got
up
and
walked
to
the
window
.
The
mills
seemed
deserted
and
still
;
he
saw
feeble
snatches
of
red
above
black
funnels
,
long
coils
of
steam
,
the
webbed
diagonals
of
cranes
and
bridges
.
He
felt
a
desolate
loneliness
,
of
a
kind
he
had
never
known
before
.
He
thought
that
