| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Baby Mine by Margaret Mayo: There was a suspicion of a smile around her lips.
"What will he do AFTER he gets it?" questioned Aggie.
Looking up at her friend in alarm, Zoie suddenly ceased sewing.
"You don't mean he won't come?" she gasped.
"Of course I don't," answered Aggie. "He's only HUMAN if he is a
husband."
There was a sceptical expression around Zoie's mouth, but she did
not pursue the subject. "How do you suppose that red baby will
ever look in this pink basket?" she asked. And then with a
regretful little sigh, she declared that she wished she'd "used
blue."

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Hamlet by William Shakespeare: The Hart vngalled play:
For some must watch, while some must sleepe;
So runnes the world away.
Would not this Sir, and a Forrest of Feathers, if the rest of
my Fortunes turne Turke with me; with two Prouinciall
Roses on my rac'd Shooes, get me a Fellowship in a crie
of Players sir
Hor. Halfe a share
Ham. A whole one I,
For thou dost know: Oh Damon deere,
This Realme dismantled was of Ioue himselfe,
Hamlet |
The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Confidence by Henry James: Gordon was watching him; Gordon was dying to know what he thought
of her. It was a curious mania of Gordon's, this wanting to know
what one thought of the women he loved; but Bernard just now felt
abundantly able to humor it. He was so pleased at seeing him
tightly married.
"She 's a delightful creature," Bernard said, with cordial vagueness,
shaking hands with his friend again.
Gordon glanced at him a moment, and then, coloring a little,
looked straight out of the window; whereupon Bernard remembered
that these were just the terms in which, at Baden, after his
companion's absence, he had attempted to qualify Angela Vivian.
