| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Golden Threshold by Sarojini Naidu: Alas! alas! my lord is dead!
Ah, who will ease my bitter pain?
He went to seek a millet-grain
In the rich farmer's granary shed;
They caught him in a baited snare,
And slew my lover unaware:
Alas! alas! my lord is dead.
O LITTLE DEER, WHY DOST THOU MOAN,
HID IN THY FOREST-BOWER ALONE?
Alas! alas! my lord is dead!
Ah! who will quiet my lament?

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Records of a Family of Engineers by Robert Louis Stevenson: and screw the nut home.
In this manner these four principal beams were erected,
and left in a pretty secure state. The men had commenced
while there was about two or three feet of water upon the side
of the beacon, and as the sea was smooth they continued the
work equally long during flood-tide. Two of the boats being
left at the rock to take off the joiners, who were busily
employed on the upper parts till two o'clock p.m., this tide's
work may be said to have continued for about seven hours,
which was the longest that had hitherto been got upon the rock
by at least three hours.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare: Therefore be out of hope, of question, of doubt;
Be certaine, nothing truer: 'tis no iest,
That I do hate thee, and loue Helena
Her. O me, you iugler, you canker blossome,
You theefe of loue; What, haue you come by night,
And stolne my loues heart from him?
Hel. Fine yfaith:
Haue you no modesty, no maiden shame,
No touch of bashfulnesse? What, will you teare
Impatient answers from my gentle tongue?
Fie, fie, you counterfeit, you puppet, you
A Midsummer Night's Dream |
