The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Salammbo by Gustave Flaubert: above his head was covered with fires; the sea filled the horizon; at
each step he was surrounded by a still greater immensity, and he
continued to climb upward with that strange facility which we
experience in dreams.
The rustling of the veil as it brushed against the stones recalled his
new power to him; but in the excess of his hope he could no longer
tell what he was to do; this uncertainty alarmed him.
From time to time he would press his face against the quadrangular
openings in the closed apartments, and he thought that in several of
the latter he could see persons asleep.
The last story, which was narrower, formed a sort of dado on the
Salammbo |
