ABSTRACT
SINCE their natural causes are hidden from us, it will scarcely be possible to explain how great is the severity and ferocity of the winds in the regions of the North, except through their evident effects. This is especially true of Circius, which in its wildness is inferior to no other wind; so, not only in the North but everywhere, either through its own nature or because it has caught up force from a local exhalation, it sweeps away and shatters everything, so that it deserves to be called the wrecker of earth and sky. Now, since any number of instances of this kind of violence are reported from different parts of the world, and also recorded in books by great writers, I shall content myself with giving one or two examples, restricting myself to the might that it displays in the North.
Wind Circius
Wrecker of earth and sky
