| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare: Pleading for a Louers fee.
Shall we their fond Pageant see?
Lord, what fooles these mortals be!
Ob. Stand aside: the noyse they make,
Will cause Demetrius to awake
Puck. Then will two at once wooe one,
That must needs be sport alone:
And those things doe best please me,
That befall preposterously.
Enter Lysander and Helena.
Lys. Why should you think y I should wooe in scorn?

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Philosophy 4 by Owen Wister: above, and they gazed at each other, did Bertie and Mr. Diggs. Then Mr.
Diggs, still gazing at Bertie, beckoned to him with a speaking eye and a
crooked finger; and as he beckoned, Bertie approached like a conspirator
and sat down close to him. "Begosh!" whispered Mr. Diggs.
"Unmitigated." And at this he and Bertie laid their heads down on the
table and rolled about in spasms.
Billy from his corner seemed to become aware of them. With his eye
fixed upon them like a statue, he came across the room, and, sitting
down near them with formal politeness, observed, "Was you ever to the
battle of Antietam?" This sent them beyond the limit; and they rocked
their heads on the table and wept as if they would expire.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The United States Constitution: Section 3. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of

Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election,

or otherwise, during the recess of the Legislature of any State,
