To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Campe explains the phenomena, that things which formerly impressed us with decided displeasure, then grew bearable and indifferent, finally even pleasant, or that what was formerly pleasant may gradually have an unpleasant effect, because the contrast, which was very strong in the beginning, grows weaker after some time. As an example of the former case he mentions that galley-slaves do not feel their terrible fate as much after ten years as on the first day, and in proof of the latter he cites... Shakespeare's, " If the entire year consisted of EXTREME HABITUATION. Ql holy play-days, celebrations would be as noxious as labor. " Pleasures, of whatever kind, are subject to the motto, " variatio delectat. " Sensual, as well as higher emotions, require a change, if they shall continue in their original strength. If this change is not offered, the reaction of consciousness on the inner action, the emotion, will grow weaker in proportion to the frequency of its repetition in a similar manner ; and will finally change to the exact opposite ; we lose the interest in things which always bring us the same impressions ; they grow indifferent, tiresome, and finally excite disgust and repugnance ; the highest joy and the strongest passion are weakened by time, and we gradually grow accustomed to the pain which was at first very severe.
