| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Thuvia, Maid of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs: frozen south, hunting them down and slaying them,
until this great nation remained only as a hated memory
in the minds of men.
"But while they are exterminating the Dusarians,
countless thousands of their own warriors must perish--
and all because of the stubbornness of a single woman
who would not wed the prince who loves her.
"Refuse, Thuvia of Ptarth, and there remains but a
single alternative--no man must ever know your fate.
Only a handful of loyal servitors besides my royal father
and myself know that you were stolen from the gardens of

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Shadow out of Time by H. P. Lovecraft: secret of Nyarlathotep, with that of a priest of Atlantis' middle
kingdom; with that of a Suffolk gentleman of Cromwell's day, James
Woodville; with that of a court astronomer of pre-Inca Peru; with
that of the Australian physicist Nevil Kingston-Brown, who will
die in 2,518 A.D.; with that of an archimage of vanished Yhe in
the Pacific; with that of Theodotides, a Greco-Bactrian official
Of 200 B.C.; with that of an aged Frenchman of Louis XIII's time
named Pierre-Louis Montagny; with that of Crom-Ya, a Cimmerian
chieftain of 15,000 B.C.; and with so many others that my brain
cannot hold the shocking secrets and dizzying marvels I learned
from them.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from United States Declaration of Independence: He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries
to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun
with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the
most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas
to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of
their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has
endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers,
the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare,
is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
