The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Complete Poems of Longfellow by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Stood behind them in tears, and were glad at the well-worded
answer.
Now went the old man up to the altar;--and straightway
transfigured
(So did it seem unto me) was then the affectionate Teacher.
Like the Lord's Prophet sublime, and awful as Death and as
Judgment
Stood he, the God-commissioned, the soul-searcher, earthward
descending
Glances, sharp as a sword, into hearts that to him were
transparent
