339. It has been said above that little children are of a genius either celestial or spiritual. Those of a celestial genius are easily distinguished from those of a spiritual genius. The former think, speak and act so gently that hardly anything appears except what flows from a love of good to the Lord and towards other little children. But those of a spiritual genius are not so gentle; but in everything with them there appears a sort of vibration, as of wings. This is evident from their indignation and from other things.
