1768. I noticed that they instantly caught sight of anything that could be perverted. Their eyes were extremely observant, and they at once grasp and seize at the first glance whatever is in their favor, so as to distort it, or take credit for it, or make use of it, and they did this before I could tell at all that they had observed anything in me. Thus they are sharper than others, being immersed in the life of the loves of self.
