| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy: "What woman is that?" Bathsheba asked.
"I be his lawful wife!" continued the voice with
greater prominence of manner and tone. This lady
called herself five-and-twenty, looked thirty, passed as
thirty-five, and was forty. She was a woman who never,
like some newly married, showed conjugal tenderness in
public, perhaps because she had none to show.
"Oh, you are." said Bathsheba. "Well, Laban, will
you stay on?"
"Yes, he'll stay, ma'am!" said again the shrill tongue
of Laban's lawful wife.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Dreams & Dust by Don Marquis: By the law of its life to some silence is bound.
Then here will we hide; idle here and abide,
In the covert here, close by the waterside--
Here, where the slim flattered reeds are aquiver
With the exquisite hints of the reticent river,
Here, where the lips of this pool are the lips
Of all pools, let us listen and question and wait;
Let us hark to the whispers of love and of death,
Let us hark to the lispings of life and of fate--
In this place where pale silences flower into sound
Let us strive for some secret of all the profound

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath by H. P. Lovecraft: streams. The old leader from Ulthar was the last to leave, and
as Carter shook his paw he said he would be able to get home by
cockcrow. When dawn came, Carter went downstairs and learned that
a week had elapsed since his capture and leaving. There was still
nearly a fortnight to wait for the ship bound toward Oriab, and
during that time he said what he could against the black galleys
and their infamous ways. Most of the townsfolk believed him; yet
so fond were the jewellers of great rubies that none would wholly
promise to cease trafficking with the wide-mouthed merchants.
If aught of evil ever befalls Dylath-Leen through such traffick,
it will not be his fault.
