Were such things here as we do speak about?
Or have we eaten on the insane root
That takes the reason prisoner?
No emotion is, in itself, a judgement; in that sense all emotions and sentiments are alogical. but they can be reasonable or unreasonable as they conform to Reason or fail to conform. The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.
