The extract is from 'The Faith Cure Man'.
Explanation:
This story is about a poor mother who wanted to save her daughter who was sick. One day she called the faith doctor home. He asked her to give him a brown paper.
Martha did as he said. The faith doctor dampened it with water and laid it on her daughter's head, saying some prayer. He also placed some sheets on the child's palms and feet and fastened them.
Then he knelt before the child and prayed aloud. Martha was impressed and hoped her daughter would get well soon. The doctor asked her to dampen the brown paper and placed it on the child for a couple of days. Martha saw some improvement but in the end, it was in vain.
I believe that the work is Marc Anthony's Speech from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar ,and the full line is:
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
and his purpose is to say that the judgement is not following the reason, but instead that people follow the wrong people in their judgement (those people is what he means by "brutish beasts")

- Edgar Allan Poe brings about specific moods in his short stories in several ways. Most of his stories are horrific and gloomy.
- Poe is able to control the speed of the narrative and build suspense for the reader, as he slows down the action with repetition.
