| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Dunwich Horror by H. P. Lovecraft: to be deny'd; the cursed Voices of Azazel and Buzrael, of Beelzebub
and Belial, being heard now from under Ground by above a Score
of credible Witnesses now living. I myself did not more than a
Fortnight ago catch a very plain Discourse of evill Powers in
the Hill behind my House; wherein there were a Rattling and Rolling,
Groaning, Screeching, and Hissing, such as no Things of this Earth
could raise up, and which must needs have come from those Caves
that only black Magick can discover, and only the Divell unlock".
Mr. Hoadley disappeared soon after delivering this sermon, but

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Love Songs by Sara Teasdale: Or love that lives its life with tears
Can die -- but love that is never spoken

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Caesar's Commentaries in Latin by Julius Caesar: nihil his rebus profici posse intellexerunt, legatos ad Crassum mittunt

soldurios appellant, quorum haec est condicio, ut omnibus in vita commodis
una cum iis fruantur quorum se amicitiae dediderint, si quid his per vim
accidat, aut eundem casum una ferant aut sibi mortem consciscant; neque
adhuc hominum memoria repertus est quisquam qui, eo interfecto cuius se
amicitiae devovisset, mortem recusaret---cum his Adiatunnus eruptionem
facere conatus clamore ab ea parte munitionis sublato cum ad arma milites
