943. Those, however, who [cherish hatred and revenge] from some better cause which seems good to them, dwell not so far away, but near the face in a similar place, and within a wall which is curved in front. The wall is white as though coated with plaster, with beautiful carvings made of plaster, and this, because the reason of their conceiving hatred and revenge was one that seemed beautiful to them. This wall appeared to me near my face. It was snow-white, with beautiful carvings. When the carvings were obliterated it became more extended, and at the same time higher. Afterwards, I could not see its height; its color was not so white, but was inwardly turning to a kind of blue. It is thus with those who adopt such a disposition, not from an evil cause, but from some other cause by which they intend the common good, and at length heavenly good. This flat wall changed and raised itself upwards. It was also offered me to view it on the inside, and it was said that there at the bottom are serpents and dragons - which, however, I did not see - signifying the hatred and revenge which are dissipated in this way.
