The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Dracula by Bram Stoker: Last night he was a frank, happy-looking man, with strong,
youthful face, full of energy, and with dark brown hair.
Today he is a drawn, haggard old man, whose white hair matches well
with the hollow burning eyes and grief-written lines of his face.
His energy is still intact. In fact, he is like a living flame.
This may yet be his salvation, for if all go well,
it will tide him over the despairing period. He will then,
in a kind of way, wake again to the realities o f life.
Poor fellow, I thought my own trouble was bad enough,
but his. . .!
The Professor knows this well enough, and is doing his best to keep
