the big four: 4 humours = 4 ages = 4 seasons = 4 elements

humour 1: sanguine: infancy (air)

spring blood on the run

vitality through fast growth

floats in humid air

*

humour 2: choleric: youth (fire)

summer campfire

fluids move in the body

yellow bile outcry

*

humour 3: melancholic: adulthood (earth)

autumn earth dyin'

wistful farewell drum songs

black bile spleen heard low

*

humour 4: phlegmatic: old age (water)

brain and lungs slow down

winter produces ice floes

phlegm stability

*
