Principio caelum ac terras camposque liquentis Lucentemque globum lunae Titaniaque astra Spiritus intus alit, totamque infusa per artus Mens agitat molem et magno se corpore miscet.

virgil

— Know, first, that heav'n, and earth's compacted frame,
And flowing waters, and the starry flame,
And both the radiant lights, one common soul
Inspires and feeds, and animates the whole.
This active mind, infus'd thro' all the space,
Unites and mingles with the mighty mass.
Lines 724–727 (translated by John Dryden).Cf. Conington's translation:
Know first, the heaven, the earth, the main,
The moon's pale orb, the starry train.
Are nourished by a soul,
A bright intelligence, whose flame
Glows in each member of the frame,
And stirs the mighty whole.
