  1     I|            unbarred,~ First fowls of air, smit to the heart by thee,~
  2     I|           reach the gentle fields of air.~ Hence too it comes that
  3     I|           Suddenly spring apart, the air must crowd~ The whole new
  4     I|            those bodies formed;~ But air, however it stream with
  5     I|            spring apart, because the air~ Somehow condenses, wander
  6     I|           which was before.~ Nor can air be condensed in such a wise;~
  7     I|         things are fashioned soft -~ Air, water, earth, and fiery
  8     I|           whosoever have constituted air~ As first beginning of begotten
  9     I|           stuff~ Twofold, by joining air to fire, and earth~ To water;
 10     I|       loosely textured to exist,~ As air, dew, fire, earth, animals,
 11     I|         frame of fire and earth, the air,~ The dew of water can in
 12     I|            nature will display,~ And air will palpably be seen mixed
 13     I|          will turn into the winds of air,~ Next, that from air the
 14     I|             of air,~ Next, that from air the rain begotten is,~ And
 15     I|             The moisture first, then air thereafter heat -~ And that
 16     I|       changed)~ Fashion the winds of air, and thus all things~ Forevermore
 17     I|        things grow into the winds of air~ And forth from earth are
 18     I|              the moist?~ Or else the air? which then? the blood?
 19     I|          seen~ Thing to bound thing: air hedges hill from hill,~
 20     I|             And mountain walls hedge air; land ends the sea,~ And
 21     I|             they teach~ How the thin air, and with it the hot fire,~
 22    II|            these supply~ For us thin air and splendour-lights of
 23    II|             regions along the mellow air,~ We see 'tis forthwith
 24    II|             they cleave the waves of air;~ Nor one by one travel
 25    II|       pressed out,~ Through winds of air to rise aloft, even though~
 26    II|        waters fall,~ Or through thin air, must their descent,~ Each
 27    II|              of water and the subtle air~ By no means can retard
 28    II|           chariot o'er the realms of air~ To drive her team of lions,
 29    II|     dispersed~ About through rivers, air, and earth, and all~ That
 30    II|           roofs~ Far over earth, and air arise around.~ For bodies
 31   III|               and through the mouth~ Air has been given forth abroad,
 32   III|               and heat draws off the air;~ And heat there's none,
 33   III|           none, unless commixed with air:~ For, since the nature
 34   III|            Athrough it many seeds of air must move.~ Thus nature
 35   III|              The motions, and thence air, and thence all things~
 36   III|              of wind~ And warmth and air, commingled, do create~
 37   III|              by like reason wind and air and heat~ Must function
 38   III|             heat and wind apart, and air apart,~ Make sense to perish,
 39   III|             is no less that state of air composed,~ Making the tranquil
 40   III|            the oxen live by tranquil air,~ Nor e'er doth smoky torch
 41   III|            trunk and draws the vital air.~ Even when deprived of
 42   III|           thou it can be held by any air -~ A stuff much rarer than
 43   III|              into the lofty winds of air;~ Since we behold the same
 44   III|             believe that in the open air,~ Without a body, they can
 45   III|             the body to the winds of air,~ Take on they cannot -
 46   III|            such a way confined.~ For air will be a body, be alive,~
 47   III|          body, be alive,~ If in that air the soul can keep itself,~
 48   III|            keep itself,~ And in that air enclose those motions all~
 49   III|              away~ Into the winds of air. For never a man~ Dying
 50   III|            quake~ Along the winds of air at the coming dove,~ And
 51   III|          huge boulder hanging in the air:~ But, rather, in life an
 52    IV|             the world,~ Stroking the air with motions. For oft are
 53    IV|       through the interspaces of the air~ To pass delay not, urged
 54    IV|           twere, through intervening air.~ Besides, if those fine
 55    IV|          voices, sounds athrough the air.~ Then too there comes into
 56    IV|          ahead~ And drives along the air that's in the space~ Betwixt
 57    IV|              our eyes. And thus this air~ All glides athrough our
 58    IV|           may be away,~ And the more air there be that's driven before,~
 59    IV|              made~ By a twofold twin air: for first is seen~ The
 60    IV|               for first is seen~ The air inside the door-posts; next
 61    IV|        through our eyes,~ Then other air, then objects peered upon~
 62    IV|          ahead~ And drives along the air that's in the space~ Betwixt
 63    IV|           pass~ That we perceive the air ere yet the glass.~ But
 64    IV|              Ahead of itself another air, that then~ 'Tis this we
 65    IV|            eyes this nearer darkling air,~ Swiftly the shining air
 66    IV|            air,~ Swiftly the shining air and luminous~ Followeth
 67    IV|       scatters asunder of that other air~ The sable shadows, for
 68    IV|           for in large degrees~ This air is nimbler, nicer, and more
 69    IV|        eyeballs, which before~ Black air had blocked, there follow
 70    IV|         Because that denser darkling air behind~ Followeth in, and
 71    IV|         since through such length of air~ Are borne along the idols
 72    IV|             along the idols that the air~ Makes blunt the idol of
 73    IV|         carriage - if thou thinkest~ Air that is thus bereft of light
 74    IV|          shadow, sure~ Is naught but air deprived of light. No marvel:~
 75    IV|         mouth is scraped against~ By air blown outward from distended
 76    IV|            must be~ Through the much air confounded, and the voice~
 77    IV|         Easily into all the winds of air;~ And first, because from
 78    IV|             are gendered in the very air~ Of own accord, in part
 79    IV|           too the body rarefies, and air,~ Forsooth as ever of such
 80    IV|       thumped and strook by blows of air~ Repeatedly. And therefore
 81    IV|            with bark.~ Yet this same air lashes their inner parts,~
 82    IV|              produces same result as air,~ Whilst being scattered
 83     V|             up~ Into the free bright air. Even then sometimes,~ When
 84     V|             body of earth and water, air's light breath,~ And fiery
 85     V|            not doubted water and the air~ Both perish too and have
 86     V|          winds disperse in the whole air.~ A part, moreover, of her
 87     V| liquid-footed floods.~ Now, then, of air~ I'll speak, which hour
 88     V|              the mighty ocean of the air;~ And did not air in turn
 89     V|             of the air;~ And did not air in turn restore to things~
 90     V|      resolved been~ And changed into air. Therefore it never~ Ceases
 91     V|           heaven, nor even earth nor air.~ Nor aught of things like
 92     V|              whose globes revolve in air~ Midway between the earth
 93     V|           many particles of heat and air~ Escaping, began to fly
 94     V|          bilge. Then ocean, then the air,~ Then ether herself, the
 95     V|             brawling of the winds of air~ Mingles its liquid body.
 96     V|         vasty world's~ Realms of the air in which it roots and lives.~
 97     V|             presses down on winds of air beneath;~ Even as unto a
 98     V|        firmament cast down~ On alien air; but was conceived, like
 99     V|              but was conceived, like air,~  In the first origin of
100     V|              great world's realms of air and sky:~ For they cohere
101     V|              is~ With heavy body, as air is with the earth~ Conjoined,
102     V|              pole~ Presses a certain air, and from without~ Confines
103     V|              that, moreover, another air above~ Streams on athwart
104     V|           sky;~ Or else because some air, streaming along~ From an
105     V|              gaze~ Seem through much air confused in their look~
106     V|              great, may permeate the air~ With the fierce hot - if
107     V|               if but, perchance, the air~ Be of condition and so
108     V|             also that two streams of air~ Alternately at fixed periods~
109     V|           may be sped~ By streams of air from regions alternate.~
110     V|         traversing the multitudinous air,~ Or else because the self-same
111     V|         because in certain parts the air~ Under the lands is denser,
112     V|            easily can penetrate that air~ Nor yet emerge unto their
113     V|              has passed on along the air~ Beyond the regions, hostile
114     V|             had decreed~ To raise in air unto the shores of light~
115     V|            free rein, aloft into the air.~ As feathers and hairs
116     V|              within (that sought the air~ And fled earth's damps)
117     V|       rearing up with hoofs a-paw in air.~ In vain - since there
118    VI|      lashings and do buffet about in air~ A hanging cloth and flying
119    VI|       bladder small,~ Filled up with air, will, when of sudden burst,~
120    VI|     themselves through all the upper air~ That we might think that
121    VI|         others, through the bulks of air -~ And, scraping together
122    VI|             scraping together out of air itself~ Some smaller bodies,
123    VI|         taketh into itself along the air~ New particles of fire.
124    VI|         along, it pulls from out the air~ Some certain bodies, which
125    VI|              rises among things~ And air in vast tumultuosity~ Billows,
126    VI|       rouseth he beforehand darkling air~ And the far din and rumblings?
127    VI|        clouds, scraping from out the air~ The seeds of cloud, and
128    VI|             some prodigious force of air,~ Collected from without
129    VI|         which such out-break of wild air~ And earth's convulsion,
130    VI|           the very rush~ Of the wild air and fury-force of wind~
131    VI|            grottos be there wind and air -~ For wind is made when
132    VI|                For wind is made when air hath been uproused~ By violent
133    VI|         violent agitation. When this air~ Is heated through and through,
134    VI|          doubt in thee that 'tis the air's~ Tumultuous power. Besides,
135    VI|       conditions force the water and air~ Deeply to penetrate from
136    VI|        Birdless places,~ Dispels the air betwixt the ground and birds,~
137    VI|        rarefied, and sends abroad in air~ Whatever seeds it peradventure
138    VI|            speed in exhalations into air~ Forth and abroad (yet not
139    VI|         varied echoings athrough the air.~ Then, too, there comes
140    VI|          which smites~ By blows that air asunder lying betwixt~ The
141    VI|            soon as rarer grows~ That air in front of the ring, and
142    VI|        forthwith~ It happens all the air that lies behind~ Conveys
143    VI|          ever doth the circumambient air~ Drub things unmoved, but
144    VI|          receives the iron in.~ This air, whereof I am reminding
145    VI|          they~ Rise upwards into the air. Again, all things~ Must
146    VI|            their framework hold some air, because~ They are of framework
147    VI|            framework porous, and the air~ Encompasses and borders
148    VI|            things.~ Thus, then, this air in iron so deeply stored~
149    VI|            atmosphere of earth,~ The air becometh baneful. And, lo,
150    VI|             noxious; 'tis a variable air~ That causes this. Thus
151    VI|             our inhalations of mixed air,~ Into our body equally
152    VI|               traversing~ Reaches of air and floating fields of foam,~
153    VI|             take~ The vital winds of air into his mouth,~ And to
