2160. The delights of good spirits and angels of the inward heaven

Besides inward, very inward and innermost delights, they also have an unlimited number of delights of sense. Let me here only mention that there are elegant arcades, ornate with very beautiful decorations. Especially as one comes out of an arcade, either palaces, or gardens, such as pleasure gardens, are portrayed, which they see on coming out. In these woven, arched, sometimes double arcades, fashioned with the utmost harmony, they seem to themselves to stroll, joined in conversation. There are palaces more superb than anyone in the world can possibly imagine. Others have different delights of sense, which are of unlimited variety. 1748, 1 June.
