3425. About mice

They are mice who, like mice, gnaw away at what are truths, just as mice gnaw at grains. They are in the highest degree mountain mice who are more educated and deceitfully [gnaw away] at what are inward things. Spirits who are mice in the highest degree are such that they constantly trample and deceitfully distort all things that are in the process of springing forth, both truths and goods. On the way.
