Nonne vides etiam, nocturna ad lumina linum nuper ubi extinctum admoveas, accendier ante quam tetigit flammam, taedamque pari ratione? multaque praeterea prius ipso tacta vapore eminus ardescunt quam comminus imbuat ignis.
Do you not see also that, if you move a wick newly extinguished near a night-light, it kindles before touching the flame, and the same with a torch? And many other things, touched just by the heat, blaze up at some distance before the fire comes close and drenches it.
