The first excerpt represents the element of Air. It speaks of mental influences and the process of thought, and is drawn from Almayer's Folly by Joseph Conrad:

like a woman's heart."

She closed his lips with a sudden kiss, and answered in a steady voice--

"But to the men that have no fear, O master of my life, the sea is ever true."

The second excerpt represents the element of Fire. It speaks of emotional influences and base passions, and is drawn from The Time Machine by H. G. Wells:

Waldemar, whose curiosity had led him towards the place where Ivanhoe had fallen to the ground, now returned. ``The gallant,'' said he, ``is likely to give your Highness little disturbance, and to leave Front-de-Buf in the quiet possession of his gains--he is severely wounded.''

``Whatever becomes of him,'' said Prince John, ``he is victor of the day; and were he tenfold our enemy, or the devoted friend of our brother, which is perhaps the same, his wounds must be looked to
