 1 2|           This is that, when the eye is pressed or moved, fire
 2 2|   without being aware of it, the eye must on this theory see
 3 2|          not occur also when the eye is at rest? The true explanation
 4 2|          current notion that the eye consists of fire, must be
 5 2|      light. Now, the part of the eye called "the black", i.e.
 6 2|       flash occurs only when the eye is moved, because only then
 7 2|         when the movement of the eye is slow, it is impossible
 8 2|       and one. But, in fact, the eye sees itself in the above
 9 2|        of light issuing from the eye as from a lantern, why should
10 2|          lantern, why should the eye not have had the power of
11 2|     light issuing forth from the eye, e.g. in the following passage:—~
12 2|          in his opinion that the eye is of water; not, however,
13 2| mirroring that takes place in an eye is due to the fact that
14 2|         due to the fact that the eye is smooth, and it really
15 2|          has its seat not in the eye which is seen, but in that
16 2|          his theory be true, the eye alone sees, while none of
17 2|         that the pupil, i.e. the eye proper, consists of water.
18 2|         animals the white of the eye is fat and oily, in order
19 2|         that the moisture of the eye may be proof against freezing.
20 2|          freezing. Wherefore the eye is of all parts of the body
21 2|       irrational notion that the eye should see in virtue of
22 2|          in the fundament of the eye itself. But even this would
23 2|       could the light within the eye coalesce with that outside
24 2|   whether the medium between the eye and its objects is air or
25 2|       that the inner part of the eye consists of water is easily
26 2|    translucent medium within the eye, and, as this is not air,
27 2|          external surface of the eye, but obviously somewhere
28 2| necessity of the interior of the eye being translucent, i.e.
29 2|        of [i.e. inward from] the eye, feel a sudden onset of
30 2|    conceive that the part of the eye immediately concerned in
31 2|          must the genesis of the eye be explained. Its structure
32 6|     space before it comes to the eye, or reaches the Earth. This
