The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Jolly Corner by Henry James: the golden glow of a late autumn afternoon. He had come back, yes
- come back from further away than any man but himself had ever
travelled; but it was strange how with this sense what he had come
back TO seemed really the great thing, and as if his prodigious
journey had been all for the sake of it. Slowly but surely his
consciousness grew, his vision of his state thus completing itself;
he had been miraculously CARRIED back - lifted and carefully borne
as from where he had been picked up, the uttermost end of an
interminable grey passage. Even with this he was suffered to rest,
and what had now brought him to knowledge was the break in the long
mild motion.
