The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Poems of William Blake by William Blake: That God would love a Worm I knew, and punish the evil foot

And I complaind in the mild air, because I fade away.
And lay me down in thy cold bed, and leave my shining lot.

Wilt thou O Queen enter my house, tis given thee to enter,
And to return: fear nothing, enter with thy virgin feet.
