1268. The spirits who relate to the mucus of the nostrils are those who, once they have contracted hatred for another, most stubbornly try to get revenge, refusing to be reasoned with. So they are those in whom reason finds no argument to dispel the hatred, once it has been conceived-a hatred that pants for nothing but the death of the other. For then such people harbor and keep turning over nothing else in their minds. They are that sticky mucus of the nostrils.
