Montaigne 1.21
We sweat, we tremble, we turn pale and blush through the shock of our imagination and lying back in our feather-bed we feel our body agitated by its power…
- The power of imagination – excesses of sympathy a cause of suffering.
- The case of Marie / Germain.
- Impotence and imagination: ‘his mind and ears had been so beset with fancies, that he found himself fettered by a disturbed imagination…’ (and then had the opposite problem and couldn’t keep it in his pants).
