The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad: on the spokes, was lifting his knees high, stamping his feet,
champing his mouth, like a reined-in horse. Confound him!

saw a face amongst the leaves on the level with my own,
looking at me very fierce and steady; and then suddenly,

deep in the tangled gloom, naked breasts, arms, legs, glaring eyes--
the bush was swarming with human limbs in movement, glistening.
of bronze colour. The twigs shook, swayed, and rustled,
the arrows flew out of them, and then the shutter came to.
