| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Finished by H. Rider Haggard: to tell you that strangers approach."
"Who are they that dare to enter the Black Kloof unannounced?"
"Cetewayo the King is one of them, the others I do not know, but
they are many, armed all of them. They approach your gate;
before a man can count two hundred they will be here."
"Where are the white chief and the lady Heddana?" asked Zikali.
"By good fortune they have gone by the secret path to the
tableland and will not be back till sunset. They wished to be
alone, so I did not accompany them, and Macumazahn here said that
he was too weary to do so." (This was true. Also like Nombe I
thought that they wished to be alone.)

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from A Heap O' Livin' by Edgar A. Guest: Who's pounced upon and bounced upon
When his day's work is through,
Whose trousers know the gentle tug
Of some glad little tot,
The baby of his crew of love,
Is wealthier than a lot.
Oh, be he poor and sore distressed
And weary with the fight,
If with a whoop his healthy troop
Run, welcoming at night,
And kisses greet him at the end
A Heap O' Livin' |
The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from A Woman of No Importance by Oscar Wilde: MRS. ARBUTHNOT. He was not discontented till he met you. You have
made him so.
LORD ILLINGWORTH. Of course, I made him so. Discontent is the
first step in the progress of a man or a nation. But I did not
leave him with a mere longing for things he could not get. No, I
made him a charming offer. He jumped at it, I need hardly say.
Any young man would. And now, simply because it turns out that I
am the boy's own father and he my own son, you propose practically
to ruin his career. That is to say, if I were a perfect stranger,
you would allow Gerald to go away with me, but as he is my own
flesh and blood you won't. How utterly illogical you are!
