| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Voice of the City by O. Henry: "To-night you are the guest of Art in paying quan-
tities. I think we will get a flat with a bath."
"I never tried one -- I mean an absinthe drip,"
said I.
The waiter brought it and poured the water slowly
over the ice in the dripper.
"It looks exactly like the Mississippi River water
in the big bend below Natchez," said I, fascinated,
gazing at the be-muddled drip.
"There are such flats for eight dollars a week,"
said Kerner.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Anthem by Ayn Rand: but did not move.
We raised our head and stepped back.
For we did not understand what had made
us do this, and we were afraid to understand it.
And the Golden One stepped back, and
stood looking upon their hands in wonder.
Then the Golden One moved away, even
though no others were coming, and they
moved, stepping back, as if they could not
turn from us, their arms bent before them,
as if they could not lower their hands.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Bucky O'Connor by William MacLeod Raine: comb and not found elsewhere two such riders for an escort as
fenced her that day. Physically they were a pair of superb
animals, each perfect after his fashion. If the fair-haired
giant, with his lean, broad shoulders and rippling flow of
muscles, bulked more strikingly in a display of sheer strength,
the sinewy, tigerish grace of the dark Apollo left nothing to be
desired to the eye. Both of them had been brought up in the
saddle, and each was fit to the minute for any emergency likely
to appear.
But on this pleasant morning no test of their power seemed likely
to arise, and she could study them at her ease without hindrance.
