— And so much on this subject. § 2. Loves of the Soul. Human characters have often been distributed into two great classes, which may be called mascu- line and/eniinu?e. In the masculine, are stronger and coarse passions, self-confidence somewhat over- bearing, more promptitude to act and more unfiag- gisg energy, deeper conscience and more prominence of the idea of Duty, high ambition to achieve Bight ; warm and rich love, of gushing impetuosity. In the feminine, are pure and gentle instincts ...; strength more passive than active ; slowness to act, except when affection moves ; a heart that guides to Duty and to Bigbt, but thinking of it not as Duty and as Bight but as that which is Lovely; finally, a love which is tender, transparent and steady.
