haec loca vi quondam et vasta convulsa ruina (tantum aevi longinqua valet mutare vetustas) dissiluisse ferunt, cum protinus utraque tellus una foret; venit medio vi pontus et undis Hesperium Siculo latus abscidit, arvaque et urbes litore diductas angusto interluit aestu.
These lands, they say, of old broke asunder, torn by force of mighty upheaval'such vast change can length of time effect'when the two countries were one unbroken whole. The sea came in force between, cut off with its waters the Hesperian from the Sicilian coast, and with narrow tideway washes fields and cities on severed shores.
