Porticus aequali quamvis est denique ductu stansque in perpetuum paribus suffulta columnis, longa tamen parte ab summa cum tota videtur, paulatim trahit angusti fastigia coni, tecta solo iungens atque omnia dextera laevis, donec in obscurum coni conduxit acumen.
Again, a colonnade may be of equal line from end to end and supported by columns of equal height throughout, yet, when its whole length is surveyed from one end, it gradually contracts into the point of a narrowing cone, completely joining roof to floor and right to left, until it has gathered all into the vanishing point of the cone.
