commend itself to his evil heart should it be in his power to join

That night I saw Guatemoc and asked him how things went.
'Well for the kite that roosts in the dove's nest,' he answered
with a bitter laugh, 'but very ill for the dove. Montezuma, my
uncle, has been cooing yonder,' and he pointed to the palace of

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde: morning, Windermere. Why should you be? Margaret and I get on
charmingly together.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Tanach: Isaiah 29: 3 And I will encamp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mound, and I will raise siege works against thee.
Isaiah 29: 4 And brought down thou shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust; and thy voice shall be as of a ghost out of the ground, and thy speech shall chirp out of the dust.
Isaiah 29: 5 But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away; yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly--
Isaiah 29: 6 There shall be a visitation from the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.
Isaiah 29: 7 And the multitude of all the nations that war against Ariel, even all that war against her, and the bulwarks about her, and they that distress her, shall be as a dream, a vision of the night.
Isaiah 29: 8 And it shall be as when a hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth, but he awaketh, and his soul is empty; or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh, but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite--so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
Isaiah 29: 9 Stupefy yourselves, and be stupid! Blind yourselves, and be blind! ye that are drunken, but not with wine, that stagger, but not with strong drink.
Isaiah 29: 10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes; the prophets, and your heads, the seers, hath He covered.
