(71) You will not find the boundaries of soul by travelling in any direction, so deep is the measure of it.[355] R. P. 41 d. (72) It is pleasure to souls to become moist. R. P. 46 c. (73) A man, when he gets drunk, is led by a beardless lad, tripping, knowing not where he steps, having his soul moist. R. P. 42. (74-76) The dry soul is the wisest and best.[356] R. P. 42. (77) Man is kindled and put out like a light in the night-time.
