The third excerpt represents the element of Water. It speaks of pure spiritual influences and feelings of love, and is drawn from Macbeth by William Shakespeare: Good things of Day begin to droope, and drowse,
Whiles Nights black Agents to their Prey's doe rowse.
Thou maruell'st at my words: but hold thee still,

So prythee goe with me.
Exeunt.
Scena Tertia.
Enter three Murtherers.

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 Brother of Daphne by Dornford Yates: "And have to pay him hundreds of pounds compensation. I don't

"Look here," I said, " I'll stand on the path and keep the
beastly thing smoking and if- if they should get- er- excited,
well- er- there it'll be all ready for you."
"Where?" said Daphne suspiciously.
"On the path."
"And you?"
"I shall probably be just getting my second wind."
