854. Those who are of such a nature tarry there. The black clouds which cause them to go away into other rooms [n. 847] are phantasies which they successively lose, this being the vastation of some, and indeed a long enduring vastation, unless something which strikes terror flows in more violently, so that whenever they return to similar phantasies, they are secretly terrified, and are vastated in this way also. Those who suppose it is tranquil there and love such habitations are vastated very slowly.
