1760. Among evil genii as well a form of speech exists that is flowing, though it is experienced as such only by the outward hearing. Inwardly it is grating because it stems from a presence of good and no affection for it. Another form of speech exists among such genii that does not possess the same flowingness, in which the non-agreement of the thoughts is perceived as something creeping silently along.
