The big gate of the big shop

Title:: The big gate of the big shop
Description:: "Though the proportions might be better, this simple dignified entrance to the Work Temple is as fine as though it were covered with carving and the feeling of mystery within as great as when the cathedral doors open at the end of mass. As though there was no more music, there came forth the endless roaring of the Looms of War. Instead of acolytes were workmen, and in solemn procession the great ladles filled with fire moved to and fro, and the great cranes stalked about; their drivers popes under their umbrellas." Joseph Pennell.
