Today's Stichomancy for George Orwell

The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson:

O the clean gravel! O the smooth stream!

Sailing blossoms, silver fishes, Pave pools as clear as air-- How a child wishes To live down there!

We can see our colored faces Floating on the shaken pool Down in cool places, Dim and very cool;

Till a wind or water wrinkle,

A Child's Garden of Verses
