quapropter simulacra pari ratione necesse est inmemorabile per spatium transcurrere posse temporis in puncto, primum quod parvola causa est procul a tergo quae provehat atque propellat, quod superest, ubi tam volucri levitate ferantur, deinde quod usque adeo textura praedita rara mittuntur, facile ut quasvis penetrare queant res et quasi permanare per aeris intervallum.
Therefore the images in like manner must be able to run through space inexpressible by words in a moment of time, first because there is a very small impulse far behind which carries them on and pushes them on, also because they move with so swift a lightness, next because they are emitted with such a rarefied texture that they can easily penetrate anything, and as it were ooze through the intervening air.
