Love, then, yearning to have\r\nwhat is loved, is desire; and having and enjoying it, is joy;\r\nfleeing what is opposed to it, it is fear; and feeling what is\r\nopposed to it, when it has befallen it, it is sadness. Now\r\nthese motions are evil if the love is evil; good if the love is\r\ngood. What we assert let us prove from Scripture.
