| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Nana, Miller's Daughter, Captain Burle, Death of Olivier Becaille by Emile Zola: arrangement of the three wings, which were built of brick framed by
courses of stone. Henri IV had erewhile inhabited this historic
mansion, and his room, with its great bed hung with Genoa velvet,
was still preserved there. Breathless with admiration, Nana gave a
little childish sigh.
"Great God!" she whispered very quietly to herself.
But the party were deeply moved when Gaga suddenly announced that
Irma herself was standing yonder in front of the church. She
recognized her perfectly. She was as upright as of old, the hoary
campaigner, and that despite her age, and she still had those eyes
which flashed when she moved in that proud way of hers! Vespers

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Princess by Alfred Tennyson: But cease to move so near the Heavens, and cease
To glide a sunbeam by the blasted Pine,
To sit a star upon the sparkling spire;
And come, for love is of the valley, come,
For love is of the valley, come thou down
And find him; by the happy threshold, he,
Or hand in hand with Plenty in the maize,
Or red with spirted purple of the vats,
Or foxlike in the vine; nor cares to walk
With Death and Morning on the silver horns,
Nor wilt thou snare him in the white ravine,

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Koran: after His grace,- and haply ye may give thanks.
And He has cast firm mountains on the earth lest it move with you;
and rivers and roads; haply ye may be guided.
And landmarks; and by the stars too are they guided.
Is He who creates like him who creates not?- are they then
unmindful?
But if ye would number the favours of God, ye cannot count them.
Verily, God is forgiving, merciful.
God knows what ye keep secret, and what ye disclose.
And those on whom ye call beside God cannot create anything, for
they are themselves created. Dead, not living, nor can they perceive!
