"Why doth the sun make a man black, and dirt white, and make wax soft, and dirt hard? By reason of the disposition of the substance that doth suffer. All humours, phlegm excepted, when they are heated above measure, do seem black about the skin, and die, being full either of saltpetre or salt liquor; when the sup hath consumed its dregs and filth, doth become white again, when the sun hath drawn and stirred up the humidity of the wax, it is softened; but in dirt the sun doth consume the humidity which is very much, and so doth dry it and make it hard."
The Works of Aristotle - The Problems of Alexander Aphrodiseus.
