 1     I|       unseen bodies works.~ THE VOID~ ~ But yet creation's neither
 2     I|       body: there's in things a void -~ Which to have known will
 3     I|     There's place intangible, a void and room.~ For were it not,
 4     I|     move,~ Which, finding not a void, would fail deprived~ Of
 5     I|     formed of matter mixed with void:~ In rocks and caves the
 6     I|      things downward, while the void abides,~ By contrary nature,
 7     I| Declares infallibly its more of void;~ Even as the heavier more
 8     I|     commixed with things -~ The void, the invisible inane.~ Right
 9     I|   things contain admixture of a void~ Where each thing gets its
10     I|       must crowd~ The whole new void between those bodies formed;~
11     I|         from truth:~ For then a void is formed, where none before;~
12     I|       none before;~ And, too, a void is filled which was before.~
13     I|    granting it could, without a void, I hold,~ It still could
14     I|    Confess thou must there is a void in things.~ ~ And still
15     I|        se EXCEPT ATOMS~ AND THE VOID~ ~ But, now again to weave
16     I|        things: of bodies and of void~ In which they're set, and
17     I|  disjoined from body, shut from void -~ A kind of third in nature.
18     I|   Intangibility to the viewless void.~ But state of slavery,
19     I|          nor has like name with void;~ But rather of sort more
20     I|      There not at an exists the void inane.~ Thus primal bodies
21     I|     bodies are solid, without a void.~  But since there's void
22     I|       void.~  But since there's void in all begotten things,~
23     I|        aught hides~ And holds a void within its body, unless~
24     I|           That which can hold a void of things within~ Can be
25     I|       that is were but a vacant void.~ And so, infallibly, alternate-wise~
26     I|        alternate-wise~ Body and void are still distinguished,~
27     I|        knows no wholly full nor void.~ There are, then, certain
28     I|        the world -~ For without void, naught can be crushed,
29     I| destroyers three;~ But the more void within a thing, the more~
30     I|       taught,~ Solid, without a void, they must be then~ Eternal;
31     I|      The fact is founded in the void of things.~ But if the primal
32     I|     This too: if they suppose a void in things,~ Then fires can
33     I|      loath to leave~ An unmixed void in things, they fear the
34     I|         things we take away the void,~ All things are then condensed,
35     I|          because, banishing the void from things,~ They yet assign
36     I|   grains,~ Without admixture of void amid their frame.~ Next,
37     I|          Yet he concedes not an void in things,~ Nor any limit
38     I|     guards, she who compels the void~ To bound all body, as body
39     I|       all body, as body all the void,~ Thus rendering by these
40     I|      room and space we call the void~ Must both through centre
41     I|         be at standstill in the void,~ Deprived of force of weight;
42     I|    force of weight; nor yet may void~ Furnish support to any, -
43     I|     amain throughout the mighty void,~ And lest all else should
44    II|         they wander through the void inane,~ All the primordial
45    II|       besides wander the mighty void -~ Cast back from unions
46    II|     many a manner mixed~ Amid a void in the very light of the
47    II|        seeds~ Amid the mightier void - at least so far~ As small
48    II|        Travel not down an empty void; and thus~ They are compelled
49    II|         travel~ Along the empty void, all undelayed~ By aught
50    II|   downward bears~ Through empty void. Well, in like manner, flames~
51    II|         down~ Plumb through the void, at scarce determined times,~
52    II|          through the unbottomed void;~ And then collisions ne'
53    II|   swiftly borne~ Plumb down the void, are able from above~ To
54    II|      But contrariwise the empty void cannot,~ On any side, at
55    II|       Of intermixed seeds quite void of sense?~ INFINITE WORLDS~ ~
56   III|   Dispart away, and through the void entire~ I see the movements
57   III|       going on below~ Along the void. O, here in these affairs~
58   III|       burdened frame~ At random void of sense, a something else~
59   III|      That somewhat's altogether void of name;~ Than which existeth
60   III|      this fourth,~ This essence void of name, composed of small,~
61   III|      souls must be thought~ Nor void of birth, nor free from
62   III|        blows exempt,~ As is the void, the which abides untouched,~
63    IV|         for sure the man~ Whom, void of life, now death and earth
64    IV|       or public jordan and then void~ The water filtered down
65     V|       blows exempt,~  As is the void, the which abides untouched,~
66     V|         is intermingled there a void;~ Nor is the world yet as
67     V|         is the world yet as the void, nor are,~ Moreover, bodies
68    VI|     birds,~ Leaving well-nigh a void. And thither when~ In horizontal
69    VI|       Along the well-nigh empty void, they spend~ Their souls
70    VI|        hand but body mixed with void.~ A first ensample: in grottos,
71    VI|      between the two~ Is made a void, forthwith the primal germs~
72    VI|         emptied more and made a void, forthwith~ It happens all
73    VI|        one side the space~ Lies void and thus receives the iron
74    VI|   whatso side a space is made a void,~ Whether from crosswise
75    VI|          thither, lo,~ Unto the void whereto it took its start.~ ~
