1191. After this a girl with a beautiful face appeared to me, passing quickly toward the right, slightly increasing in speed as she went upwards. She was of the blossoming age, not a child, nor a young girl, but becoming an adult. Her clothing was black. So she hurried happily, in light and into light, slightly upwards, obliquely toward the right. This girl, with her beautiful, bright face, symbolized [the Word's] very inward parts. But her being dressed in black, yet in good taste, is because outward elements, which are clothing, do not appear to very inward beings.
