274. As it is wisdom that makes the angels perfect and makes their life, and as heaven with its goods flows into every one in accordance with his wisdom, so all in heaven desire wisdom and seek for it as a hungry man seeks food. So, too, knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom are spiritual nutriment, as food is natural nutriment; and the one corresponds to the other.
