[continued]

It would be rational to suppose that the Angels at +C†I~ tend to be of the female gender, at least in their idealised forms, because they are at the beginning or end of the female semicircle; whereas the Seraphim at +C†I~ would tend to be of the male gender, at least in their idealised forms, because they are at at the end or beginning of the male semicircle. But this is only supposition: experience may prove otherwise.

But can you imagine a more attractive* blend of qualities in a group of young girls than Innocence, Goodness, Grace – & Attractiveness;** and if you add to those Temperance, Wisdom, Simplicity and Love, what a perfect female companion she would make – for either sex.***

Once again,**** Beauty does not appear.

*(& unlikely)

**[Originally in the ms Attraction, the actual Principle/Quality, but amended in the ms to Attractiveness, perhaps mistakenly]

***[Depending on one’s idea of perfection…. The point here being presumably that these qualities did not arrive where they are (in the writing of these journals) from any idea of their being particularly appropriate to females, companions or otherwise.]
