The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from O Pioneers! by Willa Cather: worked himself into a frenzy, but at the sight
of the black, open door, he started back. He
knew that he had murdered somebody, that a
woman was bleeding and moaning in the or-
chard, but he had not realized before that it
was his wife. The gate stared him in the face.
He threw his hands over his head. Which way
to turn? He lifted his tormented face and
looked at the sky. "Holy Mother of God, not to
suffer! She was a good girl--not to suffer!"
O Pioneers! |
