 **The Four Tempers and their real world counterparts
@@ Line 5: / Line 7: @@
 Kier Eagan said "In my life, I have identified four components, which I call tempers, from which are derived every human soul. Woe. Frolic. Dread. Malice. Each man’s character is defined by the precise ratio that resides in him. I walked into the cave of my own mind, and there I tamed them. Should you tame the tempers as I did mine, then the world shall become but your appendage."
-In the painting [[The Taming of the Tempers]], Kier flogs four figures representing those four tempers. General consensus is that the jester is Frolic, the bride is Dread, and the crone and ram are Woe and Malice, though not all agree which is which between those two.

 Kier's tempers align nicely with the historical humors of the body, from which were derived people's temperaments. The relative quantities of the four humors of blood, yellow bile, phlegm, and black bile were understood to define peoples’ physical and mental health, and determined their personality.

 Tame in me the tempers four that I may serve thee evermore. Place in me the values nine that I may feel thy touch divine. - Kier Eagan
