The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen: "No, it was more physical than mental. It was as if I
were inhaling at every breath some deadly fume, which seemed to
penetrate to every nerve and bone and sinew of my body. I felt
racked from head to foot, my eyes began to grow dim; it was like
the entrance of death."
"Yes, yes, very strange certainly. You see, your
friend confesses that there is some very black story connected
with this woman. Did you notice any particular emotion in him
when you were telling your tale?"
"Yes, I did. He became very faint, but he assured me
that it was a mere passing attack to which he was subject."
