nonne vides etiam diversis nubila ventis diversas ire in partis inferna supernis? qui minus illa queant per magnos aetheris orbis aestibus inter se diversis sidera ferri? At nox obruit ingenti caligine terras, aut ubi de longo cursu sol ultima caeli impulit atque suos efflavit languidus ignis concussos itere et labefactos aere multo, aut quia sub terras cursum convortere cogit vis eadem, supra quae terras pertulit orbem.
Do you not see also that clouds driven by contrary winds in contrary directions move in layers, the lower contrary to the upper? Is it not equally possible that those constellations can be carried by contrary tides through the great orbits of the ether? But night buries the earth in vasty blackness, either when the sun after his long course has struck upon the extremity of the sky and breathed out his fires in weariness, shaken by the journey and made weak by passing through so much air; or because he is compelled to turn round his course beneath the earth by the same force which carried his orb above the earth.
