The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath by H. P. Lovecraft: spell of the dark woods and joy of the orchards and gardens at

New England bore you, and into your soul she poured a liquid loveliness
which cannot die. This loveliness, moulded, crystallised, and
polished by years of memory and dreaming, is your terraced wonder

urns and carven rail, and descend at last these endless balustraded
steps to the city of broad squares and prismatic fountains, you
need only to turn back to the thoughts and visions of your wistful
boyhood.
