Fragment of "The tenement"

And all that rattling of tools, and the march of the forge, and the chorus of those up above drilled the rock to throw fire at it, and the deaf hooting in the distance, which came from the tenement, as if from a village alarmed; everything gave the idea of ​​ferocious activity, of a struggle of revenge and hatred.

Aluísio Azevedo, “O Cortiço”.
