The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Alexander's Bridge by Willa Cather: she tore open the envelope and read:--
Boston, February--
MY DEAR HILDA:--
It is after twelve o'clock. Every one else
is in bed and I am sitting alone in my study.

could stand against anything. And now I
scarcely know myself here. Now I know
that no one can build his security upon the
Alexander's Bridge |
