| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from King Henry VI by William Shakespeare: But 't is my presence that doth trouble ye.
Rancour will out.
Proud prelate, in thy face
I see thy fury; if I longer stay,
We shall begin our ancient bickerings.--
Lordings, farewell; and say, when I am gone,
I prophesied France will be lost ere long.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Ozma of Oz by L. Frank Baum: biggest lunch-boxes, and then she sat down upon the ground and eagerly
opened it. Inside she found, nicely wrapped in white papers, a ham

she ate every bit of luncheon in the box before she had finished.

in a anxious tone. "So much sickness is caused by eating green things."

And why are the lines in it twisted?
To show that the strata, the layers in it, are twisted, and set up
at quite different angles from the limestone.
But how was that done?
By old earthquakes and changes which happened in old worlds, ages
on ages since. Then the edges of the old red sandstone were eaten
away by the sea--and some think by ice too, in some earlier age of
ice; and then the limestone coral reef was laid down on them,
"unconformably," as geologists say--just as you saw the new red
