She was very keen to make the best possible record. ``I am proud of being quick; nothing is hard for me; it was not hard at school.''

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 Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde:
