The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Poems by Bronte Sisters: And stood with thee on deck, to gaze
On waves that rose in threatening heap,
While stagnant lay a heavy haze,

And find a way to steer our band
To the one point obscure, which lost,
Flung us, as victims, on the strand;--
All, elsewhere, gleamed the Gallic sword,
