| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from At the Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft: checking up the canine bodies we found one dog missing. We did
not think much about that till later - indeed, only Danforth and
I have thought of it at all.
The principal things I have been
keeping back relate to the bodies, and to certain subtle points
which may or may not lend a hideous and incredible kind of rationale
to the apparent chaos. At the time, I tried to keep the men�s
minds off those points; for it was so much simpler - so much more
normal - to lay everything to an outbreak of madness on the part
of some of Lake�s party. From the look of things, that demon mountain
wind must have been enough to drive any man mad in the midst of

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Salome by Oscar Wilde: noir! Cela ressemble e une tombe . . . [aux soldats] Vous ne

SECOND SOLDAT. Je vous prie, princesse, de ne pas nous demander
cela.
SALOME. Vous me faites attendre.
PREMIER SOLDAT. Princesse, nos vies vous appartiennent, mais nous
ne pouvons pas faire ce que vous nous demandez . . . Enfin, ce n'est
pas e nous qu'il faut vous adresser.
SALOME [regardant le jeune Syrien] Ah!
LE PAGE D'HERODIAS. Oh! qu'est-ce qu'il va arriver? Je suis sur
qu'il va arriver un malheur.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Extracts From Adam's Diary by Mark Twain: any longer publicly. The new creature says it is all woods and
rocks and scenery, and therefore has no resemblance to a garden.
Says it looks like a park, and does not look like anything but a
park. Consequently, without consulting me, it has been new-named--
NIAGARA FALLS PARK. This is sufficiently high-handed, it seems to
me. And already there is a sign up:
KEEP OFF
THE GRASS
My life is not as happy as it was.
