E tenebris autem quae sunt in luce tuemur propterea quia, cum propior caliginis aer ater init oculos prior et possedit apertos, insequitur candens confestim lucidus aer, qui quasi purgat eos ac nigras discutit umbras aeris illius; nam multis partibus hic est mobilior multisque minutior et mage pollens.
Again we see out of the dark what is in the light, because, when the black air of darkness, being nearer, has entered our open eyes first and possessed them, there follows immediately a bright clear air, which as it were purges them and beats abroad the black shades of the first air; for this bright air is far more mobile and made of far more minute elements and more powerful.
