The third excerpt represents the element of Water. It speaks of pure spiritual influences and feelings of love, and is drawn from King James Bible: no man is sure of life.
JOB 24:23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth;
yet his eyes are upon their ways.
JOB 24:24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought
low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops
of the ears of corn.
JOB 24:25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my
speech nothing worth?
JOB 25:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
JOB 25:2 Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high
places.

The fourth excerpt represents the element of Earth. It speaks of physical influences and the impact of the unseen on the visible world, and is drawn from Hamlet by William Shakespeare: With this affaire along, for all our Thankes.
Now followes, that you know young Fortinbras,
Holding a weake supposall of our worth;
Or thinking by our late deere Brothers death,
Our State to be disioynt, and out of Frame,
Colleagued with the dreame of his Aduantage;
He hath not fayl'd to pester vs with Message,
Importing the surrender of those Lands
Lost by his Father: with all Bonds of Law
To our most valiant Brother. So much for him.
Enter Voltemand and Cornelius.
