SD 4405 - the language of spirits; SD 4409 - the inmost of conjugial love

SD 4405
I spoke with him in the language of spirits,
illustrated by representative ideas;
for the language of spirits is such that,
in expressing anything,
they also present it, as it were visible,
but in modes which cannot be described.
Affections, cupidities, and similar things
are presented to the life by variations of light,
and these too modified with an almost endless variety.
This speech is perceived very rapidly,
so that more can be expressed [by it] in a moment,
than by human speech in hours.

SD 4409
. . . in love truly conjugial,
the inmost is a principle of conscience.
