Out of this Furnace, this Metal.
He had felt that no human being need go without his portion of comfort and beauty and quietness; the world held enough for all and if some had less than others it was because men had ordered it so and it lay in men's hands to order differently. It had seemed to him that men needed only to have this explained to them and they'd rise and do what was necessary; and when they didn't he felt angry and bewildered. Out of sloth or fear or stupidity they did nothing, they appeared content with little, whom justice did not seem to burn nor denial embitter. (p. 199).
