((Correction)) The Passion Of Brock & Frenesi (Unhappy Mutual Love)

[Terrance]

The first paragraph  

Passion means suffering, something undergone, the mastery of fate over a
free and responsible person. To love love more than the object of love,
to love passion for its own sake, has been to love to suffer and to
court suffering all the way from Augustine's **amabam amare** down to
modern romanticism. Passionate love, the longing for what sears us and
annihilates us in its triumph-there is the secret which Europe has never



allowed to be given away; a secret it has always repressed-and
preserved!  Hardly anything could be more tragic; and the way passion
has persisted through the centuries should cause us to look to the
future with deep despondency.
