| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Macbeth by William Shakespeare: and
Attendants.
Macb. Heere's our chiefe Guest
La. If he had beene forgotten,
It had bene as a gap in our great Feast,
And all-thing vnbecomming
Macb. To night we hold a solemne Supper sir,
And Ile request your presence
Banq. Let your Highnesse
Command vpon me, to the which my duties
Are with a most indissoluble tye
Macbeth |
The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Prufrock/Other Observations by T. S. Eliot: A persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo
Non torno vivo alcun, s'i'odo il vero,
Senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.
Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
Prufrock/Other Observations |
The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Hamlet by William Shakespeare: Passing through Nature, to Eternity
Ham. I Madam, it is common
Queen. If it be;
Why seemes it so particular with thee
Ham. Seemes Madam? Nay, it is: I know not Seemes:
'Tis not alone my Inky Cloake (good Mother)
Nor Customary suites of solemne Blacke,
Nor windy suspiration of forc'd breath,
No, nor the fruitfull Riuer in the Eye,
Nor the deiected hauiour of the Visage,
Together with all Formes, Moods, shewes of Griefe,
Hamlet |
