1174. But the light green dwellings of this kind, and the clouds shining whitish green, are created by filthy fantasies such as those of the lowest type of people. Moreover they love puddles of stale urine, and that foul liquid dung of different kinds, such as that of cows, sheep, or humans. Nor is it far from the truth to say that they live in such swamps (as I told those who are present), and are thrilled with the mere idea of dung. And because they are carnal to the lowest degree, they even seem to themselves to live in such swamps. 1748, 6 March.
