AE 1001, 1004 [4]
From conjugial love angels have all their beauty;
thus each angel has beauty in the measure of that love.
For all angels are forms of their affections;
for the reason that it is not permitted in heaven
to counterfeit with the face
things that do not belong to one's affection;
consequently their faces are types of their minds.
When, therefore, they have
conjugial love, love to the Lord, mutual love,
love of good and love of truth, and love of wisdom,
these loves in them give form to their faces,
and show themselves like vital fires in their eyes;
to which innocence and peace add themselves,
which complete their beauty.
Such are the forms of the inmost angelic heaven;
and they are truly human forms.
. . . for all the angels of heaven are in the Lord
and the Lord in them.
