| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Peter Pan by James M. Barrie: pirate Smee would be her one.
Peter pulled her beneath the water, for Hook had started up,
crying, "What was that?"
"I heard nothing," said Starkey, raising the lantern over the
waters, and as the pirates looked they saw a strange sight. It
was the nest I have told you of, floating on the lagoon, and the
Never bird was sitting on it.
"See," said Hook in answer to Smee's question, "that is a
mother. What a lesson! The nest must have fallen into the
water, but would the mother desert her eggs? No."

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from At the Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft: is probably weathering. Most edges crumbled and rounded off as
if exposed to storms and climate changes for millions of years.
"Parts, especially upper parts, seem to be of lighter-colored
rock than any visible strata on slopes proper, hence of evidently
crystalline origin. Close flying shows many cave mouths, some
unusually regular in outline, square or semicircular. You must
come and investigate. Think I saw rampart squarely on top of one
peak. Height seems about thirty thousand to thirty-five thousand
feet. Am up twenty-one thousand, five hundred myself, in devilish,
gnawing cold. Wind whistles and pipes through passes and in and
out of caves, but no flying danger so far."

by the hearers. A word is needed which will duly praise the dead and
gently admonish the living, exhorting the brethren and descendants of the
departed to imitate their virtue, and consoling their fathers and mothers
and the survivors, if any, who may chance to be alive of the previous
generation. What sort of a word will this be, and how shall we rightly
begin the praises of these brave men? In their life they rejoiced their
own friends with their valour, and their death they gave in exchange for
the salvation of the living. And I think that we should praise them in the
order in which nature made them good, for they were good because they were
sprung from good fathers. Wherefore let us first of all praise the
