The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Thuvia, Maid of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs: that her head was bent and her eyes downcast in thought.
Who but Carthoris could it have been? She tried to feel
anger that he should have returned thus, spying upon her;
but she found it difficult to be angry with the young
prince of Helium.
What mad caprice could have induced him so to transgress
the etiquette of nations? For lesser things great powers
had gone to war.
The princess in her was shocked and angered--but what of the girl!
And the guard--what of them? Evidently they, too,
had been so much surprised by the unprecedented action

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Rig Veda: aroused
from sleep my yearning spirit.
This Sage hath measured out the six expanses from which no
single
creature is excluded.
4 This, even this, is he who hath created the breadth of earth,
the
lofty height of heaven.
He formed the nectar in three headlong rivers. Soma supports
the wide
mid-air above us.
The Rig Veda |
