The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from At the Earth's Core by Edgar Rice Burroughs: at her, thinking that the sight of her tearing at raw
flesh with her hands and teeth like some wild animal
would cause a revulsion of my sentiments toward her;
but to my surprise I found that she ate quite as daintily
as the most civilized woman of my acquaintance, and finally
I found myself gazing in foolish rapture at the beauties
of her strong, white teeth. Such is love.
After our repast we went down to the river together
and bathed our hands and faces, and then after drinking
our fill went back to the cave. Without a word I crawled
into the farthest corner and, curling up, was soon asleep.
