quid numina contra tendere fas homini? spatium iam immane parabat, iam cervix conversa, et iam latus omne redibat: excidit ante pedes elapsum pondus et ictus destituit frustraque manum demisit inanem.
How may man strive against the gods? Already he was preparing a mighty distance, already his neck was turned, already all his side was moving back: the weight slipped and fell before his feet, frustrating his effort and letting his hand drop empty.
