The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Twilight Land by Howard Pyle: "Good-morning, Ill-Luck," says he.
"Good-morning, St. Nicholas," says Ill-Luck.
"You look as hale and strong as ever," says St. Nicholas.
"Ah, yes," says Ill-Luck, "I find plenty to do in this world of
woe."
"They tell me," says St. Nicholas, "that you can go wherever you
choose, even if it be through a key-hole; now, is that so?"
"Yes," says Ill-Luck, "it is."
"Well, look now, friend," says St. Nicholas, "could you go into
this hazel-nut if you chose to?"
"Yes," says Ill-Luck, "I could indeed."
