| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson: Happy hearts and happy faces,
Happy play in grassy places--
That was how in ancient ages,
Children grew to kings and sages.
But the unkind and the unruly,
And the sort who eat unduly,
They must never hope for glory--
Theirs is quite a different story!
Cruel children, crying babies,
All grow up as geese and gabies,
Hated, as their age increases,
A Child's Garden of Verses |
The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Othello by William Shakespeare: Comes from your Loue.
But I do see y'are moou'd:
I am to pray you, not to straine my speech
To grosser issues, nor to larger reach,
Then to Suspition
Oth. I will not
Iago. Should you do so (my Lord)
My speech should fall into such vilde successe,
Which my Thoughts aym'd not.
Cassio's my worthy Friend:
My Lord, I see y'are mou'd
Othello |
The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Moon-Face and Other Stories by Jack London: assumed, "With--a--with Mr. Barton?"
"Why, yes."
"And a smoke?"
"Yes; and now what's it all about?"
Lute broke into merry laughter. "Just as I told you that you would do. Am I
not a prophet? But I knew before I saw you that my forecast had come true. I
have just left Mr. Barton, and I knew he had walked with you last night, for
he is vowing by all his fetishes and idols that you are a perfectly splendid
young man. I could see it with my eyes shut. The Chris Dunbar glamour has
fallen upon him. But I have not finished the catechism by any means. Where
have you been all morning?"
