The eye pertains to the very inward angels, because it is in the face and projects from the brain. The mouth indeed is in the face, but it leads into the body, that is, into the stomach and into the lungs, as well as away from the same; so that they who are in the province of the mouth are less esteemed than those in other regions of the face. The eye is the noblest region of the face and also excels the rest of the senses, and it pertains to the spiritual class, over which it presides, because its sight interacts with spiritual sight.
