The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Three Taverns by Edwin Arlington Robinson: You see an older man than he who fell
Prone to the earth when he was nigh Damascus,
Where the great light came down; yet I am he
That fell, and he that saw, and he that heard.
And I am here, at last; and if at last
I give myself to make another crumb
For this pernicious feast of time and men --
Well, I have seen too much of time and men
To fear the ravening or the wrath of either.
Yes, it is Paul you see -- the Saul of Tarsus
That was a fiery Jew, and had men slain
