sic igitur supera nostrum caput esse putandumst tempestatem altam; neque enim caligine tanta obruerent terras, nisi inaedificata superne multa forent multis exempto nubila sole; nec tanti possent venientes opprimere imbres, flumina abundare ut facerent camposque natare, si non extructis foret alte nubibus aether.
In this way, therefore, we must believe the tempest to reach high above our heads. For the clouds would not submerge the earth with such blackness, unless there were many built high above many, robbing us of the sun; nor could such mighty rains come to overwhelm us, so as make rivers overflow and plains swim, if the ether were not full of clouds piled high.
