ideo per rara foramina terrae partibus erumpens primus se sustulit aether ignifer et multos secum levis abstulit ignis, non alia longe ratione ac saepe videmus, aurea cum primum gemmantis rore per herbas matutina rubent radiati lumina solis exhalantque lacus nebulam fluviique perennes, ipsaque ut interdum tellus fumare videtur; omnia quae sursum cum conciliantur in alto, corpore concreto subtexunt nubila caelum.
Therefore through the loose-knit interstices, breaking out from the parts of the earth, first fiery ether uplifted itself and lightly drew with it quantities of fire; in no very different way than we often see, when in the morning the golden light of the beaming sun first blushes over herbage jewelled with dew, when the lakes and the ever-flowing streams exhale a mist, and the very earth seems sometimes to smoke; then when all these exhalations come together on high above us, clouds with body now cohering weave a texture under the sky.
