The first excerpt represents the element of Air. It speaks of mental influences and the process of thought, and is drawn from Vendetta by Honore de Balzac:

to allow these summonses--to take place--or remain--a monument to-- divisions which should end--by ceasing--Whenever, monsieur, a young lady has recourse to respectful summons, she exhibits a determination too marked to allow of a father--of a mother," here he turned to the baroness, "hoping or expecting that she will follow their wishes-- Paternal resistance being null--by reason of this fact--in the first place--and also from its being nullified by law, it is customary--for every sensible man--after making a final remonstrance to his child-- and before she proceeds to the respectful summons--to leave her at liberty to--"
