Chapter XV.
How vainglory intoxicates the mind.

so the miserable soul is
affected by such vanity—as if it were deluded by a profound
slumber—that it is often led away by the pleasure of such
thoughts, and filled with such imaginations, so that it cannot even
look at things present, or the brethren, while it enjoys dwelling upon
these things, of which with its wandering thoughts it has waking
dreams, as if they were true.
