XI
Claude to Eustace
There are two different kinds, I believe, of human attraction:One which simply disturbs, unsettles, and makes you uneasy,And another that poises, retains, and fixes and holds you.I have no doubt, for myself, in giving my voice for the latter.I do not wish to be moved, but growing where I was growing,There more truly to grow, to live where as yet I had languished.I do not like being moved: for the will is excited; and actionIs a most dangerous thing; I tremble for something factitious,Some malpractice of heart and illegitimate process;We are so prone to these things, with our terrible notions of duty.
