According to atomists, all physical objects are constantly shedding gossamer-thin films of themselves, phantom images that emanate off the object. [An object] is always emitting a transparent copy of itself, fluid-like, through the medium of air until it reaches my eye. I take in this representation through the eyes and it travels on to the mind. This process transmits to the inside of a person a little image or replica (material in nature, but very subtle matter) of an outside material thing.
