'Meat,' as in Genesis 40:17, signifies celestial good, because 'the meat of the angels' are nothing but the goods of love and charity, which not only enliven them, but also re-create them.

(Notae: Arcana Coelestia 5147)

If man closes up the middle natural degree, which corresponds to the middle spiritual, he becomes, with respect to love, like a fox, and with respect to intellectual sight, like a bird of the evening. People in self-derived prudence are like foxes and wolves.
