2094. I compared the changes of societies to the changes in their faces, for I saw, as clearly as in the light of day, and even more clearly, that when angels make an appearance, they were able to change the looks on their faces from one expression to another, and to do so with every change in their feelings. So all the variations of one affection appear one after another, while just their own more or less characteristic affection remains, which is still recognized throughout so many variations and changes.
