| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Hamlet by William Shakespeare: transforme Honestie from what is, to a Bawd, then the
force of Honestie can translate Beautie into his likenesse.
This was sometime a Paradox, but now the time giues it

Ophe. Indeed my Lord, you made me beleeue so

of any considerable amount of mere glaciation, though Pabodie
had worked out a plan for sinking copper electrodes in thick clusters
of borings and melting off limited areas of ice with current from
a gasoline-driven dynamo. It is this plan - which we could not
put into effect except experimentally on an expedition such as
ours - that the coming Starkweather-Moore Expedition proposes
to follow, despite the warnings I have issued since our return
from the antarctic.
