| The first excerpt represents the element of Air. It speaks of mental influences and the process of thought, and is drawn from The Koran: Verily, in the alternation of night and day, and in what God has
created of the heavens and the earth, are signs unto a people who do
fear.
Verily, those who hope not for our meeting, and are content with the
life of this world, and are comforted thereby, and those who are
neglectful of our signs,- these, their resort is fire for that which
they have earned!
Verily, those Who believe and do what is right, their Lord guides
them by their faith; beneath them shall rivers flow in the gardens
of pleasure.
Their cry therein shall be, 'Celebrated be Thy praises, O God!'
The Koran |
The second excerpt represents the element of Fire. It speaks of emotional influences and base passions, and is drawn from Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar by Edgar Rice Burroughs: appreciable impression. Before he extinguished the
single candle he had brought with him for the purpose,
and the flickering light of which had cast the first
alleviating rays into the impenetrable darkness of the
buried chamber, that it had known for the countless
ages since it had lain forgotten of man, Tarzan's mind
reverted to that first occasion upon which he had
entered the treasure vault, coming upon it by chance as
he fled from the pits beneath the temple, where he had
been hidden by La, the High Priestess of the Sun
Worshipers.
