| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Macbeth by William Shakespeare: Banquo. How farre is't call'd to Soris? What are these,
So wither'd, and so wilde in their attyre,
That looke not like th' Inhabitants o'th' Earth,
And yet are on't? Liue you, or are you aught
That man may question? you seeme to vnderstand me,
By each at once her choppie finger laying
Vpon her skinnie Lips: you should be Women,
And yet your Beards forbid me to interprete
That you are so
Mac. Speake if you can: what are you?
1. All haile Macbeth, haile to thee Thane of Glamis

Her. Again! Third trumpet.
Trumpet answers within.
Enter Edgar, armed, at the third sound, a Trumpet before him.
Alb. Ask him his purposes, why he appears
Upon this call o' th' trumpet.
Her. What are you?
Your name, your quality? and why you answer
This present summons?
Edg. Know my name is lost;

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Mad King by Edgar Rice Burroughs: entrance that the people might feast their eyes on him. The
princess wondered how long it was before she herself would
be forced to offer her congratulations and, perchance, suffer
his caresses. She shivered and cringed at the thought, and
then there came a knock upon the door, and in answer to
her permission it opened, and the king stood upon the
threshold alone.
At a glance the man took in the pain and sorrow mir-
rored upon the girl's face. He stepped quickly across the
room toward her.
"What is it?" he asked. "What is the matter?"
