The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Lone Star Ranger by Zane Grey: head and hands with his coat and lay there patiently. That was
a long and wretched night. Morning found him still strong
physically, but in a dreadful state of mind.
First he hurried for the river. He could withstand the pangs of
hunger, but it was imperative to quench thirst. His wound made
him feverish, and therefore more than usually hot and thirsty.
Again he was refreshed. That morning he was hard put to it to
hold himself back from attempting to cross the river. If he
could find a light log it was within the bounds of possibility
that he might ford the shallow water and bars of quicksand. But
not yet! Wearily, doggedly he faced about toward the bluff.
