The second excerpt represents the element of Fire. It speaks of emotional influences and base passions, and is drawn from King James Bible: ECC 4:2 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than
the living which are yet alive.
ECC 4:3 Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who
hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
ECC 4:4 Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for
this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation
of spirit.
ECC 4:5 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

with travail and vexation of spirit.
