425. THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE CONTINUALLY BUILDING HOUSES I have again seen and heard those speaking and narrating who build houses and palaces which nevertheless are destroyed by others, and so they are re-built as often as they are destroyed [see n. 392]. They grieve, for they cannot inhabit them because they are destroyed. Those who were seen before, whose faces turned in both directions, hasten the work forward. There are also those who have a simple face, from an almost similar cause, as before said.
