quod genus est Bacchi cum flos evanuit, aut cum spiritus unguenti suavis diffugit in auras, aut aliquo cum iam sucus de corpore cessit: nil oculis tamen esse minor res ipsa videtur propterea neque detractum de pondere quicquam, nimirum quia multa minutaque semina sucos efficiunt et odorem in toto corpore rerum.
just as happens when the bouquet of wine has vanished, or when the sweet breath of ointment has dispersed into the air, or when the flavour has passed from a substance, and yet the thing itself does not seem any smaller to the eye for all that, nor is anything lost in the weight, because assuredly many minute seeds compose the flavour and the smell in the whole substance of the things.
