nam dubium non est, animai quin opera sit sensus hic in nobis, quem cum sopor inpedit esse, tum nobis animam perturbatam esse putandumst eiectamque foras'non omnem, namque iaceret aeterno corpus perfusum frigore leti; quippe ubi nulla latens animai pars remaneret in membris, cinere ut multa latet obrutus ignis, unde reconflari sensus per membra repente posset, ut ex igni caeco consurgere flamma? Sed quibus haec rebus novitas confiat, et unde perturbari anima et corpus languescere possit, expediam; tu fac ne ventis verba profundam.
For there is no doubt that this feeling in us comes about by action of the spirit, and when sleep hinders the feeling so that there is none, then we must suppose that the spirit has been disordered and cast forth without; but not all, for then the body would lie pervaded with the everlasting cold of death; since of course if no part of the spirit were left hidden in the limbs, like fire covered in a heap of ashes, whence could the feeling be suddenly rekindled throughout the limbs and arise like a flame from the hidden fire? But by what cause this new state comes to pass, and whence the spirit can be disordered and the body become languid, I will proceed to explain; do you see to it that I do not waste my words on the winds.
