The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Moral Emblems by Robert Louis Stevenson: Fickle and frail in every part,
And rotten to their inmost heart.
There shall the simple tenant find
Death in the falling window-blind,
Death in the pipe, death in the faucet,
Death in the deadly water-closet!
A day is set for all to die:
CAVEAT EMPTOR! what care I?'
As to Amphion's tuneful kit
Thebes rose, with towers encircling it;
As to the Mage's brandished wand
