My first, in distant lands
Full many a temple stands,
Once builded by his hands;
The marble from the mine,
His hand hath caused to shine
In beauty half divine;
My next in tropic lands
Grows where the roving bands
Roam o’er the desert sands;
My whole went forth—the world,
From chaos rudely hurled,
Along its orbit whirled.

Explain the sentences in italics in the following puzzle:
340.
I knew a man, not many years gone by,
Who had a block of timber in each eye,
Without impairing, in the least, his sight,
Or filling those who saw him with affright.
And what was more amazing, free to roam,
Fur-covered thousands made his head their home;
Two heavy buildings also rested there,
By them unnoticed, and no less his care.
A curse upon his meals he often had,
And saw with joy it made another glad.
Strangest of all, for every house he let,
A half a score of insects did beset.
At length he did become a seasoned dish,
To grace a throne, which suited well his wish;
And all this while an arrow, mind, was in him,
Which to the things he loved did firmly pin him.
