The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Salammbo by Gustave Flaubert: brought back an amphora of wine with fish from Hippo-Zarytus preserved
in honey.
Salammbo turned away from this unclean food, and fell asleep on the
horses' caparisons which were spread in a corner of the hall.
He awoke her before daylight.
The dog was howling. The slave went up to it quietly, and struck off
its head with a single blow of his dagger. Then he rubbed the horses'
nostrils with blood to revive them. The old woman cast a malediction
at him from behind. Salammbo perceived this, and pressed the amulet
which she wore above her heart.
They resumed their journey.
