| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Outlaw of Torn by Edgar Rice Burroughs: palfrey had been found they came upon the dead bodies
of the five knights who had accompanied Bertrade from
Stutevill.
Dismounting, Henry de Montfort examined the bodies
of the fallen men. The arms upon shield and helm con-
firmed his first fear that these had been Bertrade's
escort from Stutevill.
As he bent over them to see if he recognized any
of the knights there stared up into his face from the
foreheads of the dead men the dreaded sign, NT,
scratched there with a dagger's point.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from An Unsocial Socialist by George Bernard Shaw: sofa that made the lustres of the chandeliers rattle. "I wouldn't
have asked you if I had thought you could be so hateful. I will
never ask you again."
"I will make Sir Charles divorce you for incompatibility of
temper and marry me. Then I shall have the place to myself."
"He can't divorce me for that, thank goodness. You don't know
what you're talking about."
Agatha laughed. "Come," she said good-humoredly, "don't be an old
ass, Jane. Wash your face before anyone sees it, and remember
what I have told you about Sir Charles."
"It is very hard to be called an ass in one's own house."

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Flame and Shadow by Sara Teasdale: What do I care, in the dreams and the languor of spring,
That my songs do not show me at all?
For they are a fragrance, and I am a flint and a fire,
I am an answer, they are only a call.
But what do I care, for love will be over so soon,
Let my heart have its say and my mind stand idly by,
For my mind is proud and strong enough to be silent,
It is my heart that makes my songs, not I.
