quod genus e thuris glaebis evellere odorem haud facile est, quin intereat natura quoque eius, sic animi atque animae naturam corpore toto extrahere haud facile est, quin omnia dissoluantur: inplexis ita principiis ab origine prima inter se fiunt consorti praedita vita; nec sibi quaeque sine alterius vi posse videtur corporis atque animi seorsum sentire potestas, sed communibus inter eas conflatur utrimque motibus accensus nobis per viscera sensus.
Just as it is not easy to tear out the scent from lumps of frankincense, without its very nature being destroyed: so it is not easy to draw out mind and spirit from the whole body, without the dissolution of all. So interwoven are their elements from their first origin in the life which they live together; and we see that neither body nor mind has the power to feel singly without the others help, but by common motions proceeding from both conjointly sensation is kindled for us in our flesh.
