1645. The heavenly love soft words and letters, and indeed, prefer vowels, and they soften certain consonants
When I had a conversation with heavenly [angels], I could hardly find words agreeable to them. They would reject all those containing any kind of harshness, thus certain consonants that were too hard sounding for them. They love words that are flowing, such as fluvius, so they like vowels, because vowels are flowing. But consonants, if they are used, they actually soften so that they are not noticed.
