Eire, Air, Earth and Water.

The doctrine that man is made of the four elements is frequently referred to by Shakespeare. It forms the theme of two connected sonnets, the forty fourth and fOrty-fifth, written in ab- sence from the friend to whom his sonnets are addressed. The dull ele- ments of earth and water cannot leap across the distance which separates him from his friend-that is, the theme of the forty-fourth sonnet. The other two elements. air and fire, are gone on embassy to his friend. leaving him mere earth and water: My life. being made of four. with two
