| Abstract: | The secret connection of the four elements, air, earth, fire and water, to the stages of our lives, the bodily humours, temperaments, internal organs, the four cardinal points, the four times of the year and of the day, numbers, male and feminine principles has been a fascinating subject for the human mind since the beginnings of our cultural history. These mysterious (real or imaginary) links have left an unmistakable imprint both in our way of thinking and in its linguistic expression: idioms. |
