B. In the beginning, there was Chaos and everything was diametrically opposed.

utque aer, tellus illic et pontus et aether.Sic erat instabilis tellus, innabilis unda,lucis egens aer: nulli sua forma manebat,obstabatque aliis aliud, quia corpore in unofrigida pugnabant calidis, umentia siccis,mollia cum duris, sine pondere habentia pondus.Hanc deus et melior litem natura diremit.Nam caelo terras et terris abscidit undas,et liquidum spisso secrevit ab aere caelum.Quae postquam evolvit caecoque exemit acervo,dissociata locis concordi pace ligavit.

stamen, et antiquas exercet aranea telas.
