vidimus excitis pontum flavescere harenis atque eructato vertice rura tegi; qualiter Oceanus mediis infunditur agris, destituenda vago cum premit arva salo, sive alio refluus nostro colliditur orbe sive corusca suis sidera pascit aquis.
We saw the sea yellowing with the disturbance of the sands and pastures covered with the scum it has belched forth, even as the Ocean pours into the midst of fields, when under errant brine it whelms the lands from which it must ebb; whether the truth be that back-flowing from another world c it dashes against this world of ours, or that with its own waters it feeds the twinkling stars.
