| The first excerpt represents the element of Air. It speaks of mental influences and the process of thought, and is drawn from The White Moll by Frank L. Packard: hunted animal at bay, as she reached the end of the wharf and stood
there poised at the edge. Yes, thank God, they were still far
enough behind to give her the few seconds she needed! She cried
out loudly as though in despair and terror - and sprang from the
edge of the wharf. And as she sprang she dropped the casting; but
even as it struck the water with a loud splash, Rhoda Gray, in
frantic haste, was crawling in through the little locker-like
opening under the decked-over bow of the half scow, half boat into
which she had leaped. And quick as a flash, huddled inside, she
reached out and drew the heap of what proved to be sailcloth nearer
to her to cover the opening-and lay still.

The second excerpt represents the element of Fire. It speaks of emotional influences and base passions, and is drawn from Hermione's Little Group of Serious Thinkers by Don Marquis: member now.
For the rest of Lent we're going to take up the
Cosmic Consciousness.
One of the girls thought it would be a nice sort
of thing to take up during Lent -- a quiet kind of
thing, you know; not like feminism or chemistry.
Have you seen any of the new parti-colored boots
yet?
Isn't it an absurd idea?
And yet, you know -- if it made for Beauty!
That is what one must always say to one's self
