nonne vides etiam quam late parvus aquai prata riget fons interdum campisque redundet? Est etiam quoque uti non magno solis ab igni aera percipiat calidis fervoribus ardor, opportunus ita est si forte et idoneus aer, ut queat accendi parvis ardoribus ictus, quod genus interdum segetes stipulamque videmus accidere ex una scintilla incendia passim.
Do you not see also how widely a small spring of water sometimes floods the meadows and streams over the fields? It is possible also that, even if the suns fire be not great, yet the glow may pervade the air with hot burnings, if by any chance the air is so fit and disposed that it can be kindled when struck by small quantities of heat, just as at times we see a wide conflagration fall upon corn and straw from one spark.
