Et quoniam plagae quoddam genus excipit in se pupula, cum sentire colorem dicitur album, atque aliud porro, nigrum cum et cetera sentit, nec refert ea quae tangas quo forte colore praedita sint, verum quali magis apta figura, scire licet nil principiis opus esse colores, sed variis formis variantes edere tactus.
And since the pupil of the eye receives one kind of blow when it is said to perceive a white colour, and quite another when it perceives black and all the rest, and since when you touch anything it matters nothing what chance colour the thing is of, but rather what shape it has, you may be sure that the first-beginnings have no need of colours, but that they give forth various kinds of touch with their various shapes.
