| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Ferragus by Honore de Balzac: dressed in her own home than when she went into society. She loved to
adorn herself to please her husband, wishing to show him that to her

was happy in all things beside his wife, even in her caprices; in

of some illness.
Auguste de Maulincour had the personal misfortune of running against
this passion, and falling in love with the wife beyond recovery.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: When the story was completed,

"There are great men, I have known such,
Whom their people understand not,

Scoff and jeer at in derision.
From the story of Osseo
Let us learn the fate of jesters!"
All the wedding guests delighted

But once inside that building, there was no knowing what
these determined ladies might do to us. Even a peaceful detention
was not to our minds, and when we named it imprisonment it
looked even worse.
So we made a stand, trying to make clear that we preferred
the open country. One of them came forward with a sketch of our flier,
asking by signs if we were the aerial visitors they had seen.
This we admitted.
They pointed to it again, and to the outlying country, in
