| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Patchwork Girl of Oz by L. Frank Baum: head seems to contain some thoughts I did not

by this time quite subsided; but Armitage now perceived with a
sudden start that a loud chorus of whippoorwills among the shrubbery
had commenced a damnably rhythmical piping, as if in unison with
the last breaths of a dying man.
The building was full of a
frightful stench which Dr Armitage knew too well, and the three
men rushed across the hall to the small genealogical reading-room
whence the low whining came. For a second nobody dared to turn
