The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs: not continue their abandoned pilgrimage to Dor, or return to the

of this vale of hopelessness.
But through it all we came at last to where the way led up a
narrow gorge that grew steeper and more impracticable at every step
