The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Dreams & Dust by Don Marquis: The dust of forty centuries has buried Babylon,
And out of all her lovers dead rises only one;
Rises with a song to sing and laughter in his eyes,

For, oh, the world has just one dream, and it is very

'Tis youth's dream--a silly dream--but it is flushed
with gold!
A RHYME OF THE ROADS
PEARL-SLASHED and purple and crimson and
fringed with gray mist of the hills,
