nonne vides oculos etiam, cum tenvia quae sunt cernere coeperunt, contendere se atque parare, nec sine eo fieri posse ut cernamus acute? et tamen in rebus quoque apertis noscere possis, si non advertas animum, proinde esse quasi omni tempore semotum fuerit longeque remotum.
Do you not see the eyes themselves, when they begin to perceive something that is thin, try hard and prepare themselves, without which we cannot possibly perceive sharply? And yet even in things plainly visible you can observe that, if your mind fails to attend, it is just as if the thing were all the while withdrawn and far removed from you.
