The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Twilight Land by Howard Pyle: the blinding desert only for this? Have I passed by silver and
gold enough to make me rich for all my life, only to find a
little piece of blue glass?"
Jacob Stuck did not know what he had found. I shall tell you what
it was. It was a solid piece of good luck without flaw or
blemish, and it was almost the only piece I ever heard tell of.
Yes; that was what it was--a solid piece of good luck; and as for
Jacob Stuck, why, he was not the first in the world by many and
one over who has failed to know a piece of good luck when they
have found it. Yes; it looked just like a piece of blue glass no
bigger than my thumb, and nothing else.
