And for this reason it is not a Movement: for all Movement takes

place in time of certain duration and has a certain End to

accomplish; for instance, the Movement of house-building[9] is

then only complete when the builder has produced what he

intended, that is, either in the whole time [necessary to

complete the whole design], or in a given portion.[10] But all

the subordinate Movements are incomplete in the parts of the

time, and are different in kind from the whole movement and from

one another (I mean, for instance, that the fitting the stones

together is a Movement different from that of fluting the column,

and both again from the construction of the Temple as a whole:

but this last is complete as lacking nothing to the result

proposed; whereas that of the basement, or of the triglyph, is

incomplete, because each is a Movement of a part merely).
