| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Venus and Adonis by William Shakespeare: The tiger would be tame and gently hear him; 1096
If he had spoke, the wolf would leave his prey,
And never fright the silly lamb that day.
'When he beheld his shadow in the brook,
The fishes spread on it their golden gills; 1100
When he was by, the birds such pleasure took,
That some would sing, some other in their bills
Would bring him mulberries and ripe-red cherries
He fed them with his sight, they him with berries.
'But this foul, grim, and urchin-spouted boar, 1105

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Bunner Sisters by Edith Wharton: Ann Eliza's knees grew weak. "Mrs. Hochmuller gone? But
where has she gone? She must be somewhere round here. Can't you
tell me?"
"Sure an' I can't," said the woman. "She wint away before

"Dalia Geoghegan, will ye bring the choild in out av the
cowld?" cried an irate voice from within.
"Please wait--oh, please wait," Ann Eliza insisted. "You see
I must find Mrs. Hochmuller."
"Why don't ye go and look for her thin?" the woman returned,
slamming the door in her face.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from At the Earth's Core by Edgar Rice Burroughs: longer and their legs shorter in proportion to the torso
than in man, and later I noticed that their great toes
protruded at right angles from their feet--because of their
arboreal habits, I presume. Behind them trailed long,
slender tails which they used in climbing quite as much as
they did either their hands or feet.
I had stumbled to my feet the moment that I discovered
that the wolf-dogs were holding the dyryth at bay.
At sight of me several of the savage creatures left off
worrying the great brute to come slinking with bared fangs
toward me, and as I turned to run toward the trees again
At the Earth's Core |
