1268. Those who relate to the mucus of the nostrils are they who tenaciously desire revenge when they have once acquired a hatred of anyone, so that they do not admit of any reason. These are they with whom reason finds no possibility of dissipating hatred when once acquired, a hatred which breathes nothing but the death of another, for they then keep in mind [animus] and ponder nothing else. These constitute that viscous mucus of the nostrils.
