The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Damnation of Theron Ware by Harold Frederic: the work he has to do, the thousand suspicious eyes
that watch his every movement, eager to bring the Bishop
down upon him. And then think of his sacrifice--
the great sacrifice of all--to never know what love means,
to forswear his manhood, to live a forlorn, celibate life--
you have no idea how sadly that appeals to a woman."
"Let us sit down here for a little," said Theron;
"we seem at the end of the path." She seated herself
on the root-based mound, and he reclined at her side,
with an arm carelessly extended behind her on the moss.
"I can see what you mean," he went on, after a pause.
