The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Divine Comedy (translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) by Dante Alighieri: In attitude of weeping and of grief.

Of cavaliers, and the eagles in the gold
Above them visibly in the wind were moving.

Seemed to be saying: "Give me vengeance, Lord,
For my dead son, for whom my heart is breaking."
And he to answer her: "Now wait until

In whom grief is impatient, "shouldst thou not
Return?" And he: "Who shall be where I am
