| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Outlaw of Torn by Edgar Rice Burroughs: sword as he ran.
When they reached the wall De Vac and the Prince
were upon the outside, and the Frenchman had closed
and was endeavoring to lock the gate. But handicapped
by the struggling boy he had not time to turn the key
before the officer threw himself against the panels and
burst out before the master of fence, closely followed
by the Lady Maud.
De Vac dropped the key and, still grasping the now
thoroughly affrightened Prince with his left hand, drew
his sword and confronted the officer.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Othello by William Shakespeare: Please it your Grace, on to the State Affaires;
I had rather to adopt a Child, then get it.
Come hither Moore;
I here do giue thee that with all my heart,
Which but thou hast already, with all my heart
I would keepe from thee. For your sake (Iewell)
I am glad at soule, I haue no other Child,
For thy escape would teach me Tirranie
To hang clogges on them. I haue done my Lord
Duke. Let me speake like your selfe:
And lay a Sentence,
Othello |
The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from King Henry VI by William Shakespeare: The Duke of York is newly come from Ireland,
And with a puissant and a mighty power
Of gallowglasses and stout kerns
Is marching hitherward in proud array,
And still proclaimeth, as he comes along,
His arms are only to remove from thee
The Duke of Somerset, whom he terms a traitor.
KING.
Thus stands my state, 'twixt Cade and York distress'd,
Like to a ship that, having scap'd a tempest,
Is straightway calm'd and boarded with a pirate;
