"No . . . no. We have wandered far enough from our bearings--God

now--now that the foundations of things seem to be crumbling from
under us, we--we--" She lost her voice for a moment, then said,
brokenly, "Lead us not into temptation. . . I think you made the
promise, Edward. Let it rest so. Let us keep away from that
ground. Now--that is all gone by; let us he happy again; it is no
time for clouds."

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Anabasis by Xenophon: in Corinth. He died in 354 B.C.
The Anabasis is his story of the march to Persia
to aid Cyrus, who enlisted Greek help to try and
take the throne from Artaxerxes, and the ensuing
return of the Greeks, in which Xenophon played a
leading role. This occurred between 401 B.C. and
March 399 B.C.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Camille by Alexandre Dumas: She returned to her carriage and drove away. One of the shopmen
stood at the door looking after his elegant customer's carriage.
I went up to him and asked him what was the lady's name.
"Mademoiselle Marguerite Gautier," he replied. I dared not ask
him for her address, and went on my way.
The recollection of this vision, for it was really a vision,
would not leave my mind like so many visions I had seen, and I
looked everywhere for this royally beautiful woman in white.
A few days later there was a great performance at the Opera
Comique. The first person I saw in one of the boxes was
Marguerite Gautier.
