But suppose that we allow the term 'thirst' or 'desire' to be

modified, and say an 'angry thirst,' or a 'revengeful desire,'

then the two spheres of desire and anger overlap and become

confused. This case therefore has to be excluded. And still there

remains an exception to the rule in the use of the term 'good,'

which is always implied in the object of desire. These are the

discussions of an age before logic; and any one who is wearied by

them should remember that they are necessary to the clearing up

of ideas in the first development of the human faculties.
