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.
324
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 action
Is 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.
