| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Poems by Oscar Wilde: But what of life whose bitter hungry sea
Flows at our heels, and gloom of sunless night
Covers the days which never more return?
Ambition, love and all the thoughts that burn
We lose too soon, and only find delight
In withered husks of some dead memory.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from A Straight Deal by Owen Wister: will hear of no Home Rule. Sinn Fein demands independence. Independence

August 25th, 1914, mention in German papers was made of the presence in

Ireland when England was fighting Germany. The traffic went steadily on
from that time, and broke out in the revolution and the crimes in Dublin
in 1916. England discovered the plan of the revolution just in time to
foil the landing in Ireland of Germany, whom Ireland had invited there.
Were England seeking to break loose from Ireland, she could sue Ireland
