WRATH.—If love, especially the ruling love, be touched, there ensues an emotion of the mind (animus); if the touch hurts, there ensues wrath, [358].
WRITERS.—The most ancient writers, whose works remain to us, do not go back beyond the iron age, [73]. See [Writings].
WRITINGS, the, of the most ancient and of the ancient people are not extant: the writings which exist are those of authors who lived after the ages of gold, silver, and iron, [73]. Writings of some learned authoresses, examined in the spiritual world in the presence of those authoresses, [175]. The writings, which proceed from ingenuity and wit, on account of the elegance and neatness of the style in which they are written, have the appearance of sublimity and erudition, but only in the eyes of those who call all ingenuity by the name of wisdom, [175]. Writing in the heavens, [182], [326].
XENOPHON, [151*].
YOUTH.—In heaven, all are in the flower of youth, and continue therein to eternity, [250]. All who come into heaven return into their vernal youth, and into the powers appertaining to that age, and thus continue to eternity, [44]. Infants in heaven do not grow up beyond their first age, and there they stop, and remain therein to eternity, [411], [444]; and that when they attain the stature which is common to youths of eighteen years old in the world, and to virgins of fifteen, [444].
YOUTH.—In heaven they remain forever in state of youth, [355]. See [Age].
YOUTH, A.—The state of marriage of a youth with a widow, [322]. How a youth formed into a husband, [199].
YOUTHFUL.—With men, the youthful principle is changed into that of a husband, [199].
ZEAL is of love, [358]. Zeal is a spiritual burning or flame, [359]. Zeal is not the highest degree of love, but it is burning love, [358]. The quality of a man's zeal is according to the quality of his love, [362]. There are the zeal of a good love and the zeal of an evil love, [362]. These two zeals are alike in externals, but altogether unlike in internals, [363]. The zeal of a good love in its internals contains a hidden store of love and friendship; but the zeal of an evil love in its internals contains a hidden store of hatred and revenge, [365]. The zeal of conjugial love is called jealousy, [367]. Wives are, as it were, burning zeals for the preservation of friendship and conjugial confidence, [155*].
