The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Rezanov by Gertrude Atherton: bitions and desires, and straight toward a future
that would have given him the most coveted of all
destinies, a station in history. There had not been a
hint that his brain, so meaningly and consummately
equipped, would perish in the ruins of his body in
less than a twelvemonth from that fragrant morn-
ing when he had entered the home of Concha Ar-
guello tingling with a pagan joy in mere existence,
a sudden rush of desire for the keen, wild happiness
of youth--
His eyes wandered from the bright cross above
