Think then thus upon it, and see that it is but a slight thing of no weight.

That is, if you compare the earth with the circle of the universe, it must be reckoned as of no size at all.


Translated by W.W. Cooper - The Consolation of Philosophy - Book II, Prose VII (pp. 48-49), J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd. 1902
