| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Redheaded Outfield by Zane Grey: More than once I had been proud of Milly's
cleverness, but this night as hostess and an
accomplice she won my everlasting admiration.
She contrived to give the impression that Whit

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Confessio Amantis by John Gower: As now fulofte a man mai se:

For whan the Greks hadde al assaied, 1080
And founde that be no bataille
