quid sibi non timeant, magni cum vulnera caeli conspiciant feriatque oculos iniuria mundi? an coeat mundus, duplicisque extrema cavernae conveniant caelique oras et segmina iungant, perque ipsos fiat nexus manifesta cicatrix suturam faciens mundi, stipatus et orbis aeriam in nebulam densa compagine versus in cuneos alti cogat fundamina caeli.
what would men not fear might befall them, when they behold the great firmament damaged, and hurt done to heaven strikes their eyes? Possibly the skies are coming together and the bases of two vaults meet and fasten the rims of celestial segments; out of the connection is formed a conspicuous scar marking a suture of the skies, and transformed by its dense structure into ethereal mist the compressed seam causes the foundations of high heaven to harden into a solid joint.
