The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Oscar Wilde Miscellaneous by Oscar Wilde: What is this stain upon the cloth? It looks
As purple as a wound upon Christ's side.

Is fiery like its mountains. Our Tuscan vineyards
Yield a more wholesome juice.

Honest Simone; and, with your good leave,
