746. There was also a man involved in the net, thus the two of them. I do not know for what reason. Perhaps it was that he might show these things to me, for the dragon does not want them to be disclosed. Often the dragon by his phantasies wanted to elude my vision and also take it away lest I should know, as he is also now doing. It is a severe punishment to be sent under the veil, for in this way they are miserably tormented. The one who fled away drew the veil with him as if it were a tail, from phantasy joined to fear in flight.
