Passion is a word with various meanings. It is
used in regard to the body, and refers to diseases and wounds, and
again, it is used in reference to the soul, and means desire and
anger. But to speak broadly and generally, passion is an animal
affection which is succeeded by pleasure and pain. For pain
succeeds passion, but is not the same thing as passion. For
passion is an affection of things without sense, but not so pain.
Pain then is not passion, but the sensation of passion: and it
must be considerable, that is to say, it must be great enough to come within the
scope of sense.
