sin ita forte putas ignis terraeque coire corpus et aerias auras roremque liquoris, nil in concilio naturam ut mutet eorum, nulla tibi ex illis poterit res esse creata, non animans, non exanimo cum corpore, ut arbos; quippe suam quidque in coetu variantis acervi naturam ostendet mixtusque videbitur aer cum terra simul atque ardor cum rore manere.
But if by chance you think fire and the substance of earth and airy wind and liquid water so come together as to change nothing of their nature in the union, you will find that nothing will be able to be made from them, no animal, nothing with inanimate body as a tree; for each element in the combination of this discordant heap will show its own nature, and air will be seen commingled together with earth, fire abiding with water.
