Today's Stichomancy for OJ Simpson

The first excerpt represents the element of Air. It speaks of mental influences and the process of thought, and is drawn from Salome by Oscar Wilde:

de Babylone avec ses yeux d'or et ses paupieres dorees! Voici ce que dit le Seigneur Dieu. Faites venir contre elle une multitude d'hommes. Que le peuple prenne des pierres et la lapide . . .

HERODIAS. Faites-le taire!

LA VOIX D'IOKANAAN. Que les capitaines de guerre la percent de leurs epees, qu'ils l'ecrasent sous leurs boucliers.

HERODIAS. Mais, c'est infame.

LA VOIX D'IOKANAAN. C'est ainsi que j'abolirai les crimes de dessus la terre, et que toutes les femmes apprendront e ne pas imiter les abominations de celle-le.

The second excerpt represents the element of Fire. It speaks of emotional influences and base passions, and is drawn from Lay Morals by Robert Louis Stevenson:

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 Elixir of Life by Honore de Balzac:

young Belvidero, accustomed to treat his father unceremoniously, had all the faults of a spoiled child. He treated old Bartolommeo as a wilful courtesan treats an elderly adorer; buying indemnity for insolence with a smile, selling good-humor, submitting to be loved.

Don Juan, beholding scene after scene of his younger years, saw that it would be a difficult task to find his father's indulgence at fault.
