711. A decoration was shown to me which then came up - just a decoration on a gate by itself. It was, by its constant variation, of a kind to surpass beyond measure all human imagination. For one decoration follows upon another, in entire processions, as far as the eye can see. This is now being displayed to them, as well as its continual changes one after another, and its seemingly live mobility. In short, it cannot be described, nor conceived of, and this is only the least and first [kind]. The yet deeper kinds are even more ineffable, not to mention the very inward and innermost kinds.
