3203. About nakedness of the head
There was one who longed for his head to be made bare, as is done with those from whom calluses are being removed [see 3155 and the passages there mentioned] and who then become baby-like-some differently, depending on their inward makeup. But in the case of the one who wanted this, when it was made bare his head appeared bare, bone-like, the color or a human face, and the spirits said he was inwardly the kind who could never pardon anyone who had once seemed to him to have done him wrong. So he would hold onto vengeance even until death, and as he himself admitted-unless an apology were forthcoming before the whole world, to avenge the honor of his name; but I perceive, not even then. 1748, 19 Sept.
