To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— This need not be dwelt on here. It is a matter of Time Perception. Affective Tone. — By this is meant the emotional character of the sensation — its pleasurableness or painfulness. This is not fixed, as Quality is. For in different circumstances the same sensation may give pain or pleasure ; it has not always the same affective tone. Thus light, which to the tired eye is painful, in other circumstances is pleasant and stimulating. Sound, which is pleasant up to a certain intensity, may become... painful when it increases beyond a certain volume. The weight of a knapsack cheerfully borne when commencing a walk may become intolerably burdensome after a few miles have been passed. Organic Sensations. — Organic sensations are much vaguer than those of the special senses. They are not definitely localized nor discriminated (how often it is difficult to say which tooth aches), nor, of course, are they projected from the body. They are not easily revived. They usually indicate states of the organism itself, rather than afford evidence of external objects, and are of very great importance as regards pleasure and pain.
