"My design is to speak of no other kind of LOVE but that which Beauty begets in the Appetite, and of those various Storms and Emotions it raiseth both in the Soul and Body."
Metaphor in Context
There are few Objects which can reach the Soul, which are not able to move this Passion; Riches, Honour, Pleasure, and in a word all Goods (whether false of true) may raise it, but I shall not disembroil this Chaos; my design is to speak of no other kind of LOVE but that which Beauty begets in the Appetite, and of those various Storms and Emotions it raiseth both in the Soul and Body.
