| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Rig Veda: with your murdering weapons.
5 So, of a truth, Indra and Soma, Heroes, ye burst the stable
of the
kine and horses,
The stable which the bar or stone obstructed; and piercing

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche: character of the race, or to speak more physiologically, in the

honestly meant translations, which, as involuntary

Your horseshoeing outfit should be complete with
paring-knife, rasp, nail-set, clippers, hammer, nails,
and shoes. The latter will be the malleable soft iron,
low-calked "Goodenough," which can be fitted cold.
Purchase a dozen front shoes and a dozen and a half
hind shoes. The latter wear out faster on the trail.
A box or so of hob-nails for your own boots, a waxed
end and awl, a whetstone, a file, and a piece of buckskin
