nec me animi fallit quam res nova miraque menti accidat exitium caeli terraeque futurum, et quam difficile id mihi sit pervincere dictis; ut fit ubi insolitam rem adportes auribus ante, nec tamen hanc possis oculorum subdere visu nec iacere indu manus, via qua munita fidei proxima fert humanum in pectus templaque mentis.
Yet I do not forget how novel and strange it strikes the mind that destruction awaits the heavens and the earth, and how difficult it is for me to prove this by argument; as happens when you invite a hearing for something hitherto unfamiliar, which you cannot bring within the scope of vision nor put into the hands, whereby the highway of belief leads straight to the heart of man and the precincts of his intelligence.
