DISAPPEARANCE OF THE FORM IMPLIES THAT OF THE SIZE.
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
The distant object seems to us close because our inability to distinguish the parts of the intervening space does not permit us to determine exactly its magnitude. When sight can no longer traverse the length of an interval by determining its quality, in respect to its form, neither can it any longer determine its quantity in respect to magnitude.
