Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
92
Surui
said
that
when
the
people
determined
to
erect
a
temple,
in
which
they
might
assemble
for
devotional
exercises
and
expressions
of
gratitude
to
the
Divine
Being,
they
regarded
the
object
as
one
towards
which
the
whole
nation
ought
to
be
allowed
to
contribute.
They
determined
to
construct
a
building
in
which
the
greatest
multitude
ever
collected
in
that
district
might
worship
God;
and
which
would
also
serve
for
the
deliberations
of
the
Grand
Council,
that
they
might
always
be
considered
to
be
in
the
presence
of
the
Supreme
Ruler,
and
discharge
their
high
trust
with
a
due
sense
of
their
responsibility
to
Him
who
seeth
the
heart.
They
had
therefore
built
this
Auditory
by
the
surplus
labour
of
the
nation:
each
man
having
devoted
so
much
of
his
time
to
the
work
as
his
private
affairs
would
permit,
and
for
no
other
reward
than
that
of
his
own
feelings
and
the
good
opinion
of
his
fellow
men.
The
dome,
which
appeared
so
immense
and
so
impracticable,
was
formed
on
a
high
conical
hill,
by
which
the
site
was
originally
occupied.
In
the
sides
of
this
hill
shafts
were
sunk
to
the
intended
level
of
the
foundation,
in
which
the
columns
were
reared.
The
top
of
the
hill
was
then
shaped
for
the
reception
of
the
stone
of
the
arch,
which
was
thus
easily
constructed
upon
the
solid
earth.
When
the
whole
was
completed,
the
earth
both
within
and
without
the
structure
was
removed,
leaving
the
edifice
as
it
now
appeared
upon
the
plain.
Within
the
columns,
the
earth
was
formed
into
a
concavity,
with
graduated
steps
to
the
centre,
so
that
an
individual
in
any
part
of
the
immense
area
could
see
every
person
within
the
circumference
of
the
dome.
