Perhaps he was only husbanding his strength. But she saw drops of
blood on the stone, and then she knew. They climbed and climbed
without looking back. Her breast labored; she began to feel as if
little points of fiery steel were penetrating her side into her
lungs. She heard the panting of Lassiter and the quicker panting
of the dogs.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Verses 1889-1896 by Rudyard Kipling: His mercy fills the Khyber hills -- his grace is manifold;
He has taken toll of the North and the South --
his glory reacheth far,
And they tell the tale of his charity from Balkh to Kandahar.
Before the old Peshawur Gate, where Kurd and Kaffir meet,
The Governor of Kabul dealt the Justice of the Street,

There was a hound of Hindustan had struck a Euzufzai,

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Richard III by William Shakespeare: GHOST. [To RICHARD] When I was mortal, my anointed
body
By thee was punched full of deadly holes.
Think on the Tower and me. Despair, and die.
Harry the Sixth bids thee despair and die.
[To RICHMOND] Virtuous and holy, be thou conqueror!
Harry, that prophesied thou shouldst be King,
Doth comfort thee in thy sleep. Live and flourish!
Enter the GHOST of CLARENCE
GHOST. [To RICHARD] Let me sit heavy in thy soul
to-morrow! I that was wash'd to death with fulsome wine,
Richard III |
