1056. But still, it is the purpose for which they want and long for knowledge that tells what kinds of food are suited to them. Evil spirits eagerly hope to learn anything that causes evil to befall others; so nothing good can be said about that food, since that is their purpose. The purpose, why they want to know, determines by what foods they enjoy being nourished. 1748, 27 February.
