| The first excerpt represents the element of Air. It speaks of mental influences and the process of thought, and is drawn from The Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter by Beatrix Potter: But Tom Kitten has always been
afraid of a rat; he never durst face
anything that is bigger than--
A Mouse.

THE FLOPSY BUNNIES
[For All Little Friends of
Mr. McGregor and Peter and Benjamin]

The second excerpt represents the element of Fire. It speaks of emotional influences and base passions, and is drawn from The Koran: pleases the misbelievers; then they wither away, and thou mayest see
them become yellow; then they become but grit.
But in the hereafter is a severe woe, and forgiveness from God and
His goodwill; but the life of this world is but a chattel of guile.
Race towards forgiveness from your Lord and Paradise, whose
breadth is as the breadth of the heavens and the earth, prepared for
those who believe in God and His apostles! and God's grace, He gives
it to whom He pleases, for God is Lord of mighty grace!
No accident befalls in the earth, or in yourselves, but it was in
the Book, before we created them; verily, that is easy unto God.
That ye may not vex yourselves for what ye miss, nor be overjoyed at
 The Koran |
