The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Shakespeare's Sonnets by William Shakespeare: Speak of my lameness, and I straight will halt,
Against thy reasons making no defence.
Thou canst not love disgrace me half so ill,
To set a form upon desired change,
As I'll myself disgrace; knowing thy will,
I will acquaintance strangle, and look strange;
Be absent from thy walks; and in my tongue
Thy sweet beloved name no more shall dwell,
Lest I, too much profane, should do it wrong,
And haply of our old acquaintance tell.
For thee, against my self I'll vow debate,

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Bucky O'Connor by William MacLeod Raine: amazement.

His arms slipped round her as she began to sob, and he gentled
her till she could again speak. "Tell me all about it, little
Curly." he said.
"I didn't go into it because I wanted to. My master made me. I
don't know much about the others, except that I heard the names
they called each other."
"Would you know them again if you saw them? But of course you
would."
