The barges wash
Drifting logs
Down Greenwich reach
Past the Isle of Dogs.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Twilight Land by Howard Pyle: the way for a simpleton to be in that case.
The two of them lived neighbor to neighbor, the one in the next
house to the other, and so far as the world could see there was
not a pin to choose between them--only that one was called a wise
man and the other a simpleton.
One day the weather was cold, and when Babo came home from
gathering rushes he found no fire in the house. So off he went to
his neighbor the wise man. "Will you give me a live coal to start
my fire?" said he.
"Yes, I will do that," said Simon Agricola; "But how will you
carry the coal home?"

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Lost Princess of Oz by L. Frank Baum: "Have you heard of any magicians being among them?"
asked the Wizard, knowing that only a magician could have
stolen Ozma in the way she had been stolen.
"I am told it is quite a magical country," declared the High
Coco-Lorum, "and magic is usually performed by magicians. But I have
never heard that they have any invention or sorcery to equal our
wonderful auto-dragons."
They thanked him for his courtesy, and mounting their own animals rode
to the farther side of the city and right through the Wall of Illusion
out into the open country. "I'm glad we got away so easily," said
Betsy. "I didn't like those queer-shaped people."
