These ships are warships; these sailors are navy sailors. There is no other power, there are no other hands, there are no other muscles. What are all these hands, toiling and toiling and toiling and toiling? What are all these arms and hands, building and building and building and building? Are there no more lazy days upon the face of the earth? What are all these towers, filled with busy people? What is all this constant motion, moving people from here to there, from there to here, people constantly moving their hands, moving their legs, making sounds with their throats, moving objects away from one another, drawing objects toward one another, constantly setting things together or setting things apart? Is there nothing else but toiling hands upon the face of the earth? Did toiling hands build all these towers, all these machines constantly in motion, did toiling hands light all these lights? And do they continue to toil and toil and toil and toil? Do all these toiling monkeys work automatically, like machines, never pausing, never understanding, looking but never seeing, listening but never hearing? Is everyone sleepwalking, moving about like machines, going home to their cells in the hive, going out from their cells in the hive? Is there no understanding upon the face of the earth?
