The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf: skull? She had been so foolish as to let them nail it up there. It
was nailed fast, Mildred said, and Cam couldn't go to sleep with it in
the room, and James screamed if she touched it.
Then Cam must go to sleep (it had great horns said Cam)--must go to
sleep and dream of lovely bed by her side. She could see the horns,
Cam said, all over the room. It was true. Wherever they put the light
(and James could not sleep without a light) there was always a shadow
somewhere.
"But think, Cam, it's only an old pig," said Mrs Ramsay, "a nice black
pig like the pigs at the farm." But Cam thought it was a horrid thing,
branching at her all over the room.
