The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Almayer's Folly by Joseph Conrad: And so they drifted on, he speaking with all the rude eloquence
of a savage nature giving itself up without restraint to an
overmastering passion, she bending low to catch the murmur of
words sweeter to her than life itself. To those two nothing
existed then outside the gunwales of the narrow and fragile
craft. It was their world, filled with their intense and
all-absorbing love. They took no heed of thickening mist, or of
the breeze dying away before sunrise; they forgot the existence
of the great forests surrounding them, of all the tropical nature
awaiting the advent of the sun in a solemn and impressive
silence.
