| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Brother of Daphne by Dornford Yates: something red and moving caught my eye. For a moment the trees
hid it from view. Then I saw it again- just a flash of red in
the avenue- moving towards the house. I watched it curiously.
It approached a small gap. The next second there appeared a
telegraph boy upon a red bicycle. Thank you. Instinctively I
started to head him off. I had to run to do it, but I prayed
that no one was looking. We reached the gate house together.
"Telegram?" said I.
He dismounted and gave it to me like a lamb. It was addressed to
Maulfry Tower, Winningly Bluff, and it read: Missed train arrive
7.10 Tagel.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Anabasis by Xenophon: and was exiled from Athens. Sparta gave him land
and property in Scillus, where he lived for many
years before having to move once more, to settle
in Corinth. He died in 354 B.C.
The Anabasis is his story of the march to Persia
to aid Cyrus, who enlisted Greek help to try and
take the throne from Artaxerxes, and the ensuing
return of the Greeks, in which Xenophon played a
leading role. This occurred between 401 B.C. and
March 399 B.C.
