The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Travels with a Donkey in the Cevenne by Robert Louis Stevenson: tables and benches, where fifty might have dined, set out as for a
harvest-home, and the three box-beds along the wall. In one of
these, lying on straw and covered with a pair of table-napkins, did
I do penance all night long in goose-flesh and chattering teeth,
and sigh, from time to time as I awakened, for my sheepskin sack
and the lee of some great wood.
OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS
'I behold
The House, the Brotherhood austere -
And what am I, that I am here?'
MATTHEW ARNOLD.
