Four Rooms
There are four rooms. Each contains one element of four different sets of four. The sets are: north, south, west and east; earth, wind, fire, water; clovers, spades, hearts and diamonds; and spring, summer, autumn, winter. Thus we have four unique rooms: North Earth Clover Spring; South Wind Spade Summer; West Fire Heart Autumn; and East Water Diamond Winter.The first is characterized by north, earth, clover and spring. The room's walls are green, but the hue is not stable. Rather, it tapers from a dark shade at the base of the walls to sunnier shade towards the top. In the center of the ceiling in a skylight, bringing a ray down the middle of the room that settles on a table upon which sits a large vase filled with bright orchids. Beside the vase, at the north end of the room, indirect light spills in through a large window. From this window a large garden can be viewed. In its present state, it is full of tiny green shoots. Only at the back of the garden does significant grow appear, in the form a large hop trellis, upon which a vine has climbed ten feet up. Turning attention to the south side of the room, we see more flowers, laid around a large table in haphazard design. The walls are festooned with bright ye
As a result, the air is fresh, and warm from the sun. The eyes move like a river across the features. Along one wall is a white loveseat. The room is bright, almost too much so, but not for the cat sprawled out under the nourishing rays in the middle of the room, underfoot as cats tend to be. The one corner table holds but a lone plant, ignored and losing its last leaf in the dark corner. A small hearth on the far wall has begun to lend its heat, flickering light and woodsmoke aroma. There is a certain incongruousness to the way in which it looms yet it tucked into the shadowy corner. There is a powerful sense of purpose to the room, of light and life. A reclining chair sits in the far corner, so as to face the sunset. Small mirrors are everywhere, reflecting light in every direction. A gentle breeze flows from open panes on the room's south side. Upon a small table beside the sofa sits a half-empty glass of lemonade, still sweating. The air is filled with the aromas of pumpkin soup, apple pie and roasted meats. The eyes are drawn back to the lemonade and the sofa, but such relaxation cannot last long.
