To serve their purpose, names and terms must of necessity be fixed and definite like all other units of measurement.  But their use is - up to a point - so satisfactory that man is always in danger of confusing his measures with the world so measured, of identifying money with wealth, fixed convention with fluid reality.  But to the degree that he identifies himself and his life with these rigid and hollow frames of definition, he condemns himself to the perpetual frustration of one trying to catch water in a sieve.

This sat in my garage for ages. My friend John Bagley from down the road got involved with his welding equipment welding the armature. That was kind of cool because I had to keep comparing the drawing to these pieces of high-tensile steel laying there on the welding block. Anyhoo...the rest was done over the next two years, or year and a half, whatever. I just had a sudden urge to complete it and, rushing home from work, I'd launch into it with balistic zeal. So here it is. It turned out like the drawings (a first for me).
