"Hoch!"

Yes; he is taking a long breath or two. You need not hold my hand so tight. His head is from us; and when he goes down he will go

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 Disputation of the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences by Dr. Martin Luther:
