- Bob: That he who loves the beautiful partaking in this madness, is called a lover. For has been said, every soul of man has by law of nature beheld realities, otherwise it would not have entered into a human being. But it is not easy for all souls to gain from earthly things a recollection of those realities. Either for those who had but a brief view of them at a time earlier, or for which, after falling to Earth were so unfortunate as to be turned towards unrighteousness through some evil communication and to have forgotten the holy sights they once saw. Few then are left which retain an adequate recollection of them but these when they see here any likeness of the things of that other world are stricken with amazement and no longer can control themselves but they do not understand their condition, because they do not clearly perceive.
