The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Jungle Tales of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs: for they were very cold. Then a sudden madness seized him.
Where was the bird taking him? Was he to submit thus

and thrusting upward drove it once, twice, thrice into
the breast above him. The mighty wings fluttered a few
more times, spasmodically, the talons relaxed their hold,
and Tarzan of the Apes fell hurtling downward toward
the distant jungle.
