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

It must have been very early, for it was then summer, and in summer, in that latitude, day scarcely withdraws; but even at that hour the house was making a sweet smoke of peats which came to me over the bay, and the bare-legged daughters of the cotter were wading by the pier.

Jeremiah 17: 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but its foliage shall be luxuriant; and shall not be anxious in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Jeremiah 17: 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceeding weak--who can know it?

Jeremiah 17: 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

Jeremiah 17: 11 As the partridge that broodeth over young which she hath not brought forth, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days he shall leave them, and at his end he shall be a fool.

Jeremiah 17: 12 Thou throne of glory, on high from the beginning, thou place of our sanctuary,

Jeremiah 17: 13 Thou hope of Israel, the LORD! All that forsake Thee shall be ashamed; they that depart from Thee shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.

Jeremiah 17: 14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for Thou art my praise.

I think you would find her most sympathetic. She is forced to be in attendance on her mother just now. But what a temperament! I have once described her in her autograph album as a tigress with a flower in the hair. Will you excuse me? Perhaps I can persuade them to be introduced to you."
