| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The White Moll by Frank L. Packard: "Show the candle at the window, Rhoda! The Sparrow is waiting for
it in the yard below. Then open the door for them."
A sudden terror and fear seized her. The Adventurer was not fit,
after what he had been through to-night to cope with Danglar. He
had been limping badly even a few minutes ago. It seemed to her,
as she rushed across the garret and snatched up the candle, that
Danglar was getting the best of it even now. And the Adventurer
could have shot him down, and been warranted in doing it! She
reached the window, waved the candle frantically several times
across the pane, then setting the candle down on the window ledge,
she ran for the door.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Soul of a Bishop by H. G. Wells: that he was not as yet definitely committed to Lady Sunderbund's
project. And in accordance with that idea he set up housekeeping
in London upon a scale that implied a very complete cessation of
income. "As yet," he told Lady Ella, "we do not know where we
stand. For a time we must not so much house ourselves as camp. We
must take some quite small and modest house in some less
expensive district. If possible I would like to take it for a
year, until we know better how things are with us."
He reviewed a choice of London districts.
Lady Ella said her bitterest thing. "Does it matter where we
hide our heads?"

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Oedipus Trilogy by Sophocles: He'd take it to the country whence he came;
But he preserved it for the worst of woes.
For if thou art in sooth what this man saith,
God pity thee! thou wast to misery born.
OEDIPUS
Ah me! ah me! all brought to pass, all true!
O light, may I behold thee nevermore!
I stand a wretch, in birth, in wedlock cursed,
A parricide, incestuously, triply cursed!
[Exit OEDIPUS]
CHORUS
