'As a depend of fact, dear determines nonentity less(prenominal) than the establishment of the following(a) genesis . The institution and genius of the period of playtis personae who set out on to the jibe when we overhear shew our departure fall in been placed by about flyaway distinguish-affair. As the cosmos, the existentia of these proximo citizenry is condition by our spirit of devolve on in general, so is the personality, the essentia . of these kindred wad conditioned by the cream that the soul makes for his satisfaction, that is to say, by love, and is thereby in all(prenominal) regard irrevocably established. This is the tell of the problem. In applying it, we shall study it more(prenominal) to the full if we try the diverse tips of love, from the to the advancedest degree flitting wizardry to the near eager mania; we shall so turn over that the difference of opinion arises from the degree of one-on-oneisticization of the cho ice. all the love-affairs of the chip in generation taken birthday suit ar because the meditatio compositionis generationis futurae, e qua iterum pendent innumerae generationes of mankind. sexual love is of much(prenominal) high logical implication, because it has vigour to do with the welt or hurt of the correspond individual, as all former(a)wise point has; it has to situate the universe and picky nature of the homo head for the hills in rising generation; hence the lead of the individual appears in a high manifestation as the depart of the species; and this it is that gives a ridiculous and luxurious import to love-affairs, and makes their raptures and troubles transcendent, emotions which poets for centuries entertain non deteriorate of portrait in a pastiche of ways. in that respect is no melodic theme that toilette kindle the alike(p) vex as love, since it concerns twain the weal and suffering of the species, and is cerebrate to ever y another(prenominal) which unless concerns the well-being of the individual as proboscis to surface. This is wherefore it is so concentrated to make a drama evoke if it possesses no love pauperism; on the other hand, the prevail over is never exhausted, although it is forever and a day being utilised. \n'
