| The first excerpt represents the element of Air. It speaks of mental influences and the process of thought, and is drawn from King Lear by William Shakespeare: apprehension.
Edm. [aside] If I find him comforting the King, it will stuff
his
suspicion more fully.- I will persever in my course of
loyalty,
though the conflict be sore between that and my blood.
Corn. I will lay trust upon thee, and thou shalt find a dearer
father in my love.
Exeunt.
Scene VI.

The second excerpt represents the element of Fire. It speaks of emotional influences and base passions, and is drawn from Tarzan the Untamed by Edgar Rice Burroughs: "You mean I am eating lion now?"
"Yes," said the old woman, "and as they prepare it, it is very
palatable. You will grow very fond of it."
Bertha Kircher smiled a trifle dubiously. "I could not tell
it," she said, "from lamb or veal."
"No," said the woman, "it tastes as good to me. But these
lions are very carefully kept and very carefully fed and their
flesh is so seasoned and prepared that it might be anything so
far as taste is concerned."
And so Bertha Kircher broke her long fast upon strange
fruits, lion meat, and goat's milk.
