Today's Stichomancy for Ray Bradbury

The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Cromwell by William Shakespeare:

And gives to some of them a Park or Manor, To others Leases, Lands to other some: What need he do thus in his prime of life, And if he were not fearful of his death?

SUFFOLK. My Lord, these likelihoods are very great.

BEDFORD. Pardon me, Lords, for I must needs depart; Their proofs are great, but greater is my heart.

[Exit Bedford.]

NORFOLK.
