| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay: him from their view. The water came as far up as his calf. A
trifork, similar to the one Maskull had seen on Disscourn, but
smaller, had been stuck in the mud close by his hand.
They stopped by the side of the pond, and waited. Immediately he
became aware of their presence, the man set down his other leg, and
waded out of the water toward them, picking up his trifork in doing
so.
"This is not Maulger, but Catice," said Spadevil.
"Maugler is dead," said Catice, speaking the same tongue as Spadevil,
but with an even harsher accent, so that the tympanum of Maskull's
ear was affected painfully.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Ten Years Later by Alexandre Dumas: "Not such a fool as to name a price, my lord."
"Why not?"
"Because my fish is yours."
"By what right?"
"By that of the strongest."
"But my intention is to pay you for it."
"That is very generous of you, my lord."
"And the worth of it ---- "
"My lord, I fix no price."
"What do you ask, then?"
"I only ask to be permitted to go away."

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Ten Years Later by Alexandre Dumas: the council; monsieur le cardinal himself carried it on."
"I thought your majesty had this morning declared that there
should no longer be a council?"
"Yes, I said so."
"Let your majesty then have the goodness to read all the
letters yourself, particularly those from England; I hold
strongly to this article."
"Monsieur, you shall have that correspondence, and render me
an account of it."
"Now, sire, what shall I do with respect to the finances?"
"Everything M. Fouquet has not done."
