Objection :—“There being many varieties of Passion (Emotion and so forth),—why are the varieties of sugges- tion said to be eighteen only ?” The answer to this is as follows :— The varieties of ‘Passion’ and other forms being endless, these (Passion, Emotion, etc.) are counted as a single variety. ‘Endless’.—For instance, there are nine Passions ;— of the Erotic Passion there are two varieties —that in union and that in privation ;—the former has several varieties, in the form of ‘mutual glances’, ‘em- brace’, ‘kissing’, ‘flower-picking,’ ‘amorous water- sports’, descriptions of sunset, rise of the moon, the six seasons and so forth ;—the Erotic in privation again has been already described as being of several kinds, such as longing and so forth ;—then again, these two kinds of the Erotic vary with the variations in the particular Excitants, Ensuants and Variants ;—the hero again is of three kinds, noble, ignoble and middling ;—these vary with the pecu- liarities of time, place and other circumstances ;—so that of the single Passion of the Erotic there are ‘endless’ varieties ;—not to speak of others ?
