When lightning flashes, thunder roars, and the spirit causes a pause between them, dividing the time equally. The store of thunder's sounds is vast like sand, and each sound is controlled and directed by the spirit to every part of the earth. The spirit of the sea is powerful and strong, pulling it back with a rein, and then driving it forward to spread among all the mountains of the earth.
For when the lightning lightens, the thunder utters its voice, and the spirit enforces a pause during the peal, and divides equally between them; for the treasury of their peals is like the sand, and each one of them as it peals is held in with a bridle, and turned back by the power of the spirit, and pushed forward according to the many quarters of the earth. And the spirit of the sea is masculine and strong, and according to the might of his strength he draws it back with a rein, and in like manner it is driven forward and disperses amid all the mountains of the earth.
