| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Macbeth by William Shakespeare: This Diamond he greetes your Wife withall,
By the name of most kind Hostesse,
And shut vp in measurelesse content
Mac. Being vnprepar'd,
Our will became the seruant to defect,
Which else should free haue wrought
Banq. All's well.
I dreamt last Night of the three weyward Sisters:
To you they haue shew'd some truth
Macb. I thinke not of them:
Yet when we can entreat an houre to serue,
Macbeth |
The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot: O you who turn the wheel and look to windward, 320
Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.
V. WHAT THE THUNDER SAID
AFTER the torchlight red on sweaty faces
After the frosty silence in the gardens
After the agony in stony places
The shouting and the crying
Prison and place and reverberation
Of thunder of spring over distant mountains
He who was living is now dead
We who were living are now dying
The Waste Land |
The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Dreams & Dust by Don Marquis: Becomes a mist between the spheres,
And waking Sentience struggles there.
Prayer still creates the boon we pray;
And gods we've hoped for, from those hopes
Will gain sufficient form one day
And in full godhood storm the slopes
Where ancient Chaos, stark and gray,
Already trembles for his sway.
When that the restless worlds would fly
Their wish created rapid wings,
But not till aeons had passed by
