delight is like another; we know no distinction.”  Others said, that delight was the laughter of the mind; for when the mind laughs, the countenance is cheerful, the discourse is jocular, the behaviour sportive, and the whole man is in delight.  But some said, “Delight consists in nothing but feasting, and delicate eating and drinking, and in getting intoxicated with generous wine, and then in conversing on various subjects, especially on the sports of Venus and Cupid.”  On hearing these relations, the novitiate spirit being indignant, said to himself; “These are the answers of clowns, and not of well-bred men:  these delights are neither heaven nor hell; I wish I could meet with the wise.”  He then took his leave of them, and inquired where he might find the wise?  At that instant he was seen by a certain angelic spirit, who said, “I perceive that you have a strong desire to know what is the universal of heaven and of hell; and since this is DELIGHT, I will conduct you up a hill, where there is every day an assembly of those who scrutinize effects, of those who investigate causes, and of those who explore ends.  There are three companies; those who scrutinize effects are called spirits of knowledges, and abstractedly knowledges; those who investigate causes are called spirits of intelligence, and abstractedly intelligences; and those who explore ends are called spirits of wisdom, and abstractedly wisdoms.  Directly above them in heaven are angels, who from ends see causes, and from causes effects; from these angels those three companies are enlightened.”  The angelic spirit then taking the novitiate spirit by the hand, led him up the hill to the company which consisted of those who explore ends, and are called wisdoms.  To these the novitiate spirit said, “Pardon me for having ascended to you:  the reason is, because from my childhood I have meditated about heaven and hell, and lately came into this world, where I was told by some who accompanied me, that here heaven was above my head, and hell beneath my feet; but they did not tell me the nature and quality of either; wherefore, becoming anxious from my thoughts being constantly employed on the subject, I prayed to God; and instantly an angel presented itself, and said, ’Inquire and learn what delight is, and you will know.’ I have inquired, but hitherto in vain:  I request therefore that you will teach me, if you please, what delight is.”  To this the wisdoms replied, “Delight is the all of life to all in heaven and all in hell:  those in delight have the delight of good and truth, but those in hell have the delight of what is evil and false; for all delight is of love, and love is the esse of a man’s life; therefore as a man is a man according to the quality of his love, so also is he according to the quality of his delight.  The activity of love makes the sense of delight; its activity in heaven is with wisdom, and in hell with insanity; each in its objects presents delight:  but the heavens and the hells are in opposite delights,
