777. It is now evident that the “fowl” signifies spiritual truth, the “flying thing” natural truth, and the “winged thing” sensuous truth; and that truths are distinguished in this way. Sensuous truths, which are those of the sight and hearing, are called “winged things” because they are outermost; and such is the signification of “wing” as applied to other things also.
