935. * About the punishment of revenge and hatred, continued

The punishment of revenge is such as you see it described on the whole page visible here [939-48], because there is within revenge the most filthy meanness, that is so portrayed - namely by bodily parts thus turned hideous. Such hideousness and meanness, therefore, are latent in revenge and hatred, and it is unavoidable that punishments of this kind result from them. And for such spirits there is a muddy swamp to the left of Gehenna, in a place lower than the feet [see 938, 947]. * 935-38 were written, and properly belong, after 948, where we have placed them. * 935-38 were written, and properly belong, after 948, where we have placed them.
