JOB 41:33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
JOB 41:34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the
children of pride.
JOB 42:1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
JOB 42:2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can
be withholden from thee.
JOB 42:3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore
have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which
I knew not.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Poems by T. S. Eliot: And watched the smoke that rises from the pipes
Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows?
I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the doors of silent seas.
. . . . . . . . .
And the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully!
Smoothed by long fingers,
Asleep ... tired ... or it malingers.
Stretched on on the floor, here beside you and me.
Should I, after tea and cakes and ices,
Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis?

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Lone Star Ranger by Zane Grey: saddled with gun-plays he never made. An', Buck, if you ever
get famous, as seems likely, you'll be blamed for many a crime.
The border'll make an outlaw an' murderer out of you. Wal,
thet's enough of thet. I've more news. You're goin' to be
popular."
"Popular? What do you mean?"
"I met Bland's wife this mornin'. She seen you the other day
when you rode in. She shore wants to meet you, an' so do some
of the other women in camp. They always want to meet the new
fellers who've just come in. It's lonesome for women here, an'
they like to hear news from the towns."
