The white surf flicked on a coral reef, and beyond that the
open sea was dark blue reef
The bright sun, the whelming sea and sweet air
Taut wire of the horizon
Floods of light fell more nearly to the perpendicular,
The stark colours of
the morning were smoothed in pearl and opalescence
The bushes were dark evergreen and aromatic,and the many buds were waxen green and folded up against the
light
This is an island
Inside the lagoon was peacock water, rocks, and weed showing
as in an aquarium
Coral was scribbled in the sea as though a giant had bent
down to reproduce the shape of the island in a flowing,chalk line but tired
before he had finished
The air was thick with butterflies, lifting, fluttering,
settling
All around him the long scar smashed into the jungle was a
bath of heat
Forced at last to believe in the reality of the island
The afternoon died away,
The circular spots of sunlight moved steadily over green
fronds and brown fiber but no sound came from behind the rock
Within the diamond haze of the beach something dark was
fumbling along…
Then the creature stepped from the mirage on to clear sand,and they saw the darkness was not all shadow but mostly
clothing
Fear can’t hurt you any more than a dream
Behind him came the twins, worried now for a while but full
of unquenchable vitality
In the short story, “Do Seek Their Meat from God”, the title of the story comes from Psalm 104:21. The story conveys that if one wants to survive in the world, the individual must find his/her meat provided by God. Throughout the story, both panthers and the man embody the meaning of “Do Seek Their Meat from God.” In order to feed their cubs, two panthers are hunting for food in the woods during the night. After the panthers has heard the sound of cry, they go and seek their food - the child. In order to get the food, the two panthers fight against the man who tries to protect the crying boy whom he later finds out that it is his own son. After two panthers are killed by the man, their cubs are destined to die of starvation, since they are young and don’t have ability to seek for their own foods. The title “Do Seek Their Meat from God” implies the fierce competition in nature that the food or the necessity for survival.
