| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Idylls of the King by Alfred Tennyson: Perchance, one curl of Arthur's golden beard.
To me this narrow grizzled fork of thine
Is cleaner-fashioned--Well, I loved thee first,
That warps the wit.'
Loud laughed the graceless Mark,
But Vivien, into Camelot stealing, lodged
Low in the city, and on a festal day
When Guinevere was crossing the great hall
Cast herself down, knelt to the Queen, and wailed.
'Why kneel ye there? What evil hath ye wrought?
Rise!' and the damsel bidden rise arose

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare: Talk not to me: I will go sit and weep
Till I can find occasion of revenge.

BAPTISTA. Was ever gentleman thus griev'd as I?
But who comes here?
[Enter GREMIO, with LUCENTIO in the habit of a mean man;
PETRUCHIO, with HORTENSIO as a musician; and TRANIO, with
BIONDELLO bearing a lute and books.]
GREMIO.
Good morrow, neighbour Baptista.
BAPTISTA.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Miracle Mongers and Their Methods by Harry Houdini: dresses, and marching at a slow
pace behind each other, repeatedly passed
through the whole length between the two
rows of flame, which were constantly fed
with additional combustibles. One of the
firemen carried on his back a child eight
years old, in a wicker-basket covered with
metallic gauze, and the child had no other
dress than a cap made of amianthine cloth.
In February, 1829, a still more striking
experiment was made in the yard of the
Miracle Mongers and Their Methods |
