The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell: longer bleak winter. For Ashley, spring was back again, that half-
forgotten balmy spring of green rustlings and murmurings, a spring
of ease and indolence, careless days when the desires of youth were
warm in his body. The bitter years since then fell away and he saw
that the lips turned up to his were red and trembling and he kissed
her.
There was a curious low roaring sound in her ears as of sea shells
held against them and through the sound she dimly heard the swift
thudding of her heart. Her body seemed to melt into his and, for a
timeless time, they stood fused together as his lips took hers
hungrily as if he could never have enough.
