Hmm... Interesting question. But is comparing beauty to elements, 
like comparing apples to apples? Beauty is an abstract concept and 
unlike an element, it is not a raw material of essence but rather, 
the combination of all four elements into the manifestation of 
something physical (as per your example) that can be regarded as 
having the trait/quality of beautiful.

To me the answer might be closer to something along the lines of the 
accumulation of an element is but a dislocation of it from one area 
to another. You can not subtract or add matter/energy from the 
Universe, but you can shift it around and even transform it to an 
extent. Of course matter is already the manifestation of the four 
elements, so if you accumulate one of them from "somewhere", you'd 
think that "somewhere" would experience a depleation of that single 
element.

So if all physical matter is composed of 4 elements and you were to 
absorb one of the 4 elements from any one piece of matter, would it 
desintegrate? (because it needs all 4 elements to remain physically 
manifested?), or simply acquire what is being transfered out from 
some other material source automatically and thus never be depleated 
or desintegrate? (e.g. Air?)

Also, if the vaccum of space is a physical manifestation 
of sorts, but one which is not supposedly made up of matter, do the 
four elements still prevade there?

Lastly, I understand that from the esoteric perspective there is no 
such thing as a vaccuum, because prana and consciousness, for example 
are capable of prevading everywhere... so what is the elemental 
consitution of the various types of prana? What exactly is the 
relationship between the elements and energy? How many elements are 
required to make up the various energy types?
