425. There are some who are continually building houses

Once again I saw and heard those spirits speaking and giving an account, who build houses and palaces, but which are torn down by others [392-93], and then built again. Whenever they are broken down, they grieve that they cannot live in them because they are torn down. Busy at this work are those who had been seen before with faces on both sides, also some with a single face, for about the same reason as before [393].
