| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Macbeth by William Shakespeare: Vpon the Corner of the Moone
There hangs a vap'rous drop, profound,
Ile catch it ere it come to ground;
And that distill'd by Magicke slights,
Shall raise such Artificiall Sprights,
As by the strength of their illusion,
Shall draw him on to his Confusion.
He shall spurne Fate, scorne Death, and beare
His hopes 'boue Wisedome, Grace, and Feare:
And you all know, Security
Is Mortals cheefest Enemie.
Macbeth |
The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Twilight Land by Howard Pyle: that; I, too, have travelled with an angel many a day, I dare
say, and never knew it.
That night the servant lodged with the widow and her son, and the
next day he started back home again upon the way he had travelled
before. By evening he had reached the place where the house of
the poor couple stood--the house that he had seen the angel set
fire to. There he beheld masons and carpenters hard at work
hacking and hewing, and building a fine new house. And there he
saw the poor man himself standing by giving them orders. "How is
this," said the travelling servant; "I thought that your house
was burned down?"

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde: morning, sir. I went down twice.
ALGERNON. No cucumbers!
LANE. No, sir. Not even for ready money.
ALGERNON. That will do, Lane, thank you.
LANE. Thank you, sir. [Goes out.]
ALGERNON. I am greatly distressed, Aunt Augusta, about there being
no cucumbers, not even for ready money.
LADY BRACKNELL. It really makes no matter, Algernon. I had some
crumpets with Lady Harbury, who seems to me to be living entirely
for pleasure now.
ALGERNON. I hear her hair has turned quite gold from grief.
