Sympathy for The Holy

I ran into Captain Kate* the other day. We had a very pleasant talk. When I asked about The Holy, she was reluctant to talk about him, but I persisted until she related:
– I think he’s losing it. He spends all his time sculpturing agates. First he polishes them, then cuts them and then polishes them again creating the most fantastic small and not-so-small sculptures. He is quite creative, you know. Anyone can come and watch, but he never says anything unless someone asks why he doesn’t help humanity.
– Do you see a gem you are particularly fond of? he asks.
When they select one, he grabs a hammer that he claims used to belong to Thor, and smashes the gem to dust in one blow and asks the shocked person who posed the question,
– I gave them life and they choose things. How do you suggest that I respond to that insult?
– No one answers him and he continues working. Sometimes he whistles softly, Sympathy for the Devil.
