| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Child of Storm by H. Rider Haggard: "What has killed my son, Macumazahn?" he asked in a hollow voice, the
tears running down his handsome face, for he had loved his firstborn.
"I cannot tell," I replied; "but had he been older I should have thought
he had eaten something poisonous, which seems impossible."
"Yes, Macumazahn, and the poison that he has eaten came from the breath
of a wizard whom you may chance to have seen kiss him last night. Well,

"Saduko," I exclaimed, "do not be unjust. There are many sicknesses

separated from Korak, although he was anxious enough to remain
with his own kind. He wanted Korak to remain, too. He said as much.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from King Henry VI by William Shakespeare: Sir Thomas Gargrave and Sir William Glansdale,
Let me have your express opinions
Where is best place to make our battery next.

GLANSDALE.
And I, here, at the bulwark of the bridge.
TALBOT.
For aught I see, this city must be famish'd,
Or with light skirmishes enfeebled.
[Here they shoot. Salisbury and Gargrave fall.]
