The brick and stone business blocks, together with the public buildings, were thrown down.
"Those blocks which you are trampling under foot, like worthless stones, contain gold-ore of great purity."
The boys were dragging along the banquette a small "express wagon," which they had filled with blocks and sticks.
In all other dreams except those of children and those of the infantile type, distortion, as we have said, blocks our way.
Large blocks of stone lay there, overgrown with moss of every color; the fresh spring bubbled forth, and made a strange gurgling sound.
The booms were tearing at the blocks, the rudder was banging to and fro, and the whole ship creaking, groaning, and jumping like a manufactory.

Hans went on as quietly as if he were on level ground; sometimes he disappeared altogether behind the huge blocks, then a shrill whistle would direct us on our way to him.
