| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Songs of Innocence and Experience by William Blake: Among the old folk.
They laugh at our play,
And soon they all say,
'Such, such were the joys
When we all--girls and boys -
In our youth-time were seen
On the echoing green.'
Till the little ones, weary,
No more can be merry:
The sun does descend,
And our sports have an end.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft: disorder, but concluded after perplexed debate that some obscure
lesion of the heart, induced by the brisk ascent of so steep a
hill by so elderly a man, was responsible for the end. At the
time I saw no reason to dissent from this dictum, but latterly
I am inclined to wonder - and more than wonder.
As my great-uncle's
heir and executor, for he died a childless widower, I was expected
to go over his papers with some thoroughness; and for that purpose
moved his entire set of files and boxes to my quarters in Boston.
Much of the material which I correlated will be later published
by the American Archaeological Society, but there was one box

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Glinda of Oz by L. Frank Baum: sorry we had to leave the Sawhorse and the Red Wagon
behind us, for they'd come in handy just now; but with
the end of our journey in sight a tramp across these
pretty green fields won't tire us a bit."
It was a longer tramp than they suspected, however,
and night overtook them before they could reach the
flat mountain. So Ozma proposed they camp for the night
and Dorothy was quite ready to approve. She didn't like
to admit to her friend she was tired, but she told
herself that her legs "had prickers in 'em," meaning
they had begun to ache.
