| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Complete Angler by Izaak Walton: her young, a sin so against nature, that Almighty God hath in the
Levitical law made a law against it.
But the poor fish have enemies enough besides such unnatural
fishermen; as namely, the Otters that I spake of, the Cormorant, the
Bittern, the Osprey, the Sea-gull, the Hern, the King-fisher, the Gorara,
the Puet, the Swan, Goose, Duck, and the Craber, which some call the
Water-rat: against all which any honest man may make a just quarrel,

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte: to bring Mr. Hatfield once more to her feet; but finding them

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Koran: the good word of thy Lord was fulfilled on the children of Israel, for
that they were patient; and we destroyed that which Pharaoh and his

devoted to their idols, and said, 'O Moses! make for us a god as
they have gods.' Said he, 'Verily, ye are ignorant people.' Verily,
these- destroyed shall be that which they are given to; and vain is
that which they have done.
He said, 'Other than God then do ye crave for a god, when He has
preferred you above the worlds?'
And when we saved you from Pharaoh's people who wrought you evil
