It is right to consider the resolution [to] poets.
...bodies being divided; of all things as many [as are] the races of those in nature. But others will seek, blessed [is] the resolution, and the good in the fitting of the nature of itself. Thus therefore whether one considers some share of the living [things], such as a bird, or a living creature, or a city or a nation or even a world, and even all, whether [one] considers a share or a work [as] the receiving [thing], in every way the living creature shines upon; just as the sun [being] worthy shines [upon] all with its own things; just as therefore the light is contained by the illuminated, so also the life that came with them, the receiving [thing] of it, the life is contained. And just as again concerning some air is the light, as if [it were] from the nothing of being of it the advantages [of] light, it leads back again the already thin to retreat. And yet strength is present to it; from whence also the light itself rather flows away [and] departs, so also the life of the living creatures [will] have [it], not being separated. Or as [those] honoring, asserting, [it] proceeds, and not of those happening; but the light seen by us is one continuous [thing] everywhere the same. So that not even being [present it] retreats [nor] is a part of it cut off. Nor [is it] in a place [by] description, nor even for a little and sometime [is] the light in the rulers. How [does] the same again all and the whole world, being divided, carry the one and the indivisible light of the living [things]? It does not appear. But it is one and itself everywhere whole; for it is indivisible, [to] all being able to participate in it; and it has fulfilled the complete power everywhere and again [it] is not completed by any superiority of the causes in [any] one [thing], being [of] life and that everywhere toward itself, and [it] is joined by the grace of age. But to which also this whole [that is] divided, or however great [it] being, revolution [around]. Most vital toward it, and by the life, [it] leads [as] a guide. All the things in them being [present], and [they] are touched by being carried according to the same beginnings, such as [to] be composed linguistically [it] makes one the continuity and the whole agreement which it works [as] wholes. But the [thing] in the living creatures is...
What does the sun mean that which is with it and the light in the air?
The continuous method to the living creatures distinguishes the furthest ornaments.
