When desire,
having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which leads
to right, is set in the direction of the pleasure which
beauty can inspire, and when again under the influence of
its kindred desires it is moved with violent motion towards
the beauty of corporeal forms, it acquires a surname from
this very violent motion, and is called love.

rewarding.
