| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence: 'My dear evangelist, this confusing of persons and personalities is in
bad taste.'
'And your nasty, sterile want of common sympathy is in the worst taste
imaginable. NOBLESSE OBLIGE! You and your ruling class!'
'And to what should it oblige me? To have a lot of unnecessary emotions
about my game-keeper? I refuse. I leave it all to my evangelist.'
'As if he weren't a man as much as you are, my word!'
'My game-keeper to boot, and I pay him two pounds a week and give him a
house.'
'Pay him! What do you think you pay for, with two pounds a week and a
house?'

A perfect and absolute blank!"
This was charming, no doubt; but they shortly found out

Were enough to bewilder a crew.
When he cried "Steer to starboard, but keep her head larboard!"

She remembered how somewhere, sometime, there was a window where you

always changing and moving, away, away--beyond everything little,
and green, and moving all the time. But great grown wise folks
said: ``No, there is no window in all the world like that.''
And once when some one gave Bessie Bell a little round red apple she
caught her breath very quickly and her little heart jumped and then
thumped very loudly (that is the way it seemed to her) and she
remembered: Little apple trees all just alike, and little apple
trees in rows all just alike on top of those and again on top of
