| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Almayer's Folly by Joseph Conrad: her! What if he changed his heart if not his skin and made her
life easier between the two loves that would guard her from any
mischance! His heart yearned for her. What if he should say
that his love for her was greater than . . .
"I will never forgive you, Nina!" he shouted, leaping up madly in
the sudden fear of his dream.
This was the last time in his life that he was heard to raise his
voice. Henceforth he spoke always in a monotonous whisper like
an instrument of which all the strings but one are broken in a
last ringing clamour under a heavy blow.
She rose to her feet and looked at him. The very violence of his

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Smalcald Articles by Dr. Martin Luther: decides and commands with [in] his church is spirit and right,
even though it is above and contrary to Scripture and the
spoken Word.
All this is the old devil and old serpent, who also converted
Adam and Eve into enthusiasts, and led them from the outward
Word of God to spiritualizing and self-conceit, and

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Sportsman by Xenophon: For other names see Herodian, {peri mon. l} (on monosyllables),
12. 7; "Corp. Inscr." iv. p. 184, n. 8319; Arrian, v. 6, xix.;
Colum. vii. 12, 13. According to Pollux, v. 47, Xenophon had a dog
named {ippokentauros} (cf. "Cyrop." IV. iii. 17).
The young hounds may be taken out to the chase at the age of eight
months[9] if bitches, or if males at the age of ten. They should not
be let loose on the trail of a hare sitting,[10] but should be kept
attached by long leashes and allowed to follow on a line while
scenting,[11] with free scope to run along the trail.[12]
