670. CONCERNING THE PROVINCE OF THE EYE The eye belongs to the more interior angels, because it is in the face and comes forth out of the cerebrum. The mouth indeed is in the face, but it leads into the body, namely, into the stomach and into the lungs, and also leads from them, wherefore those who are in the province of the mouth are less esteemed than those who are in other regions of the face. The eye is the noblest region of the face, and surpasses the other senses. It belongs to the spiritual class over which it presides, because of sight corresponding to spiritual sight.
