Burne-Jones interpreted the generative force for life and Earth in 1882 in the form of a woman holding an urn pouring water (Worcester Art Museum, USA). A male Aquarius in the Royal Collection, London also hold urns pouring water as he drifts through the heavens, this Earth-bound figure personifies the creative source of water. In 1876 an idea similar of a youth pouring water from two urns appears in Winter's Remembrance, a design for embroidery as part of The Four Seasons. Burne-Jones was drawn to the Medieval idealization of the Earthly Paradise as a walled garden with a fountain at its centre which had mystical, cleansing and invigorating powers, which was embedded in the myth of the Fountain of Youth.
