The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu by Sax Rohmer: How strangely does the adventurous intrude upon the humdrum;
for, when it intrudes at all, more often than not its intrusion
is sudden and unlooked for. To-day, we may seek for romance
and fail to find it: unsought, it lies in wait for us at most
prosaic corners of life's highway.
The drive that night, though it divided the drably commonplace
from the wildly bizarre--though it was the bridge between the
ordinary and the outre--has left no impression upon my mind.
Into the heart of a weird mystery the cab bore me; and in reviewing
my memories of those days I wonder that the busy thoroughfares
through which we passed did not display before my eyes signs
The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu |
