The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Heroes by Charles Kingsley: thee; and full of sorrow my old age will be (for I see my
fate in dreams), when the sons of the Swan shall carry me
captive to the hollow vale of Eurotas, till I sail across the
seas a slave, the handmaid of the pest of Greece. Yet shall
I be avenged, when the golden-haired heroes sail against
Troy, and sack the palaces of Ilium; then my son shall set me
free from thraldom, and I shall hear the tale of Theseus'
fame. Yet beyond that I see new sorrows; but I can bear them
as I have borne the past.'
Then she kissed Theseus, and wept over him; and went into the
temple, and Theseus saw her no more.
