7. DELIGHTS (Deliciae).
The delights of conjugial love (77-146 [CL 68, 69]). (See CONJUGIAL LOVE.)
By delights are meant beatitudes, satisfactions, happiness, enjoyments, and pleasures; in general, joys and gladnesses (77). Whence come delights (77 [CL 461]). (See LOVE.)
Enjoyment is the life of love (78 [CL 461]).
The enjoyments of love follow in order, as end, cause and effect. What the case is with delights, while the end or love is progressing, is tarrying, and is at a stand (82)
