But these other apartments were densely crowded, and in them beat feverishly the heart of life. And the revel went whirlingly on, until at length there commenced the sounding of midnight upon the clock.

The second excerpt represents the element of Fire. It speaks of emotional influences and base passions, and is drawn from Democracy In America, Volume 2 by Alexis de Toqueville:

The friar, having stayed long enough to see every thing replaced on a friendly footing, rose, and moved to take his leave. Matilda told him he must come again on the morrow, for she had a very long confession to make to him. This the friar promised to do, and departed with the knight.

Sir Ralph, on reaching the abbey, drew his followers together, and led them to Locksley Castle, which he found in the possession of his lieutenant; whom he again left there with a sufficient force to hold it in safe

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 The Tanach:

Lamentations 3: 30 Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him let him be filled full with reproach.

Lamentations 3: 31 For the Lord will not cast off for ever.

Lamentations 3: 32 For though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies.

Lamentations 3: 33 For He doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.

Lamentations 3: 34 To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,

Lamentations 3: 35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,

Lamentations 3: 36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.

Lamentations 3: 37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

Lamentations 3: 38 Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and good?

Lamentations 3: 39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a strong man because of his sins?

Lamentations 3: 40 Let us search and try our ways, and return to the LORD.
