The last title is given to a condition in which, as Gilbert says, "A superfluous humor is abundant in the superficies of the lung, which compresses that organ and renders it unable to dilate in inspiration. Hence it labors in inspiration like a leech, from which the dyspnea derives its name." Under the single title of "cardiaca passio" are included all possible diseases of the heart.
Shakspeare, in one of his plays, calls it hysterica passio "Oh how this, mother, swells up toward my Heart! Hysterica passio!" Sir Walter Scott graphically describes an attack "The hysterical passion that impels tears is a terrible violence a sort of throttling sensation then succeeded by a state of dreaming stupidity" What are the causes of Hysterics?
Probably all these would have been placed by the Aristotelian school in the categories of actio and passio; and the relation of such of them as are active, to their objects, and of such of them as are passive, to their causes, would rightly be so placed; but the things themselves, the feelings or states of mind, wrongly.
I wiped them mechanically, and almost without being aware that they were flowing but they came thicker and thicker; I felt the tightening of the throat and breast the hysterica passio of poor Lear; and sitting down by the wayside, I shed a flood of the first and most bitter tears which had flowed from my eyes since childhood. Dangle.
The cause of the evil, once found, suggests the remedy. In everything, habit benumbs the imagination; new objects alone quicken it again. Every-day objects keep active not the imagination, but the memory; whence the saying "Ab assuetis non fit passio." For only the imagination can set on fire our passions. If, therefore, you wish to cure any one of the fear of darkness, do not reason with him.
It is no longer imagination, but memory which is concerned with what we see every day, and that is the reason of the maxim, "Ab assuetis non fit passio," for it is only at the flame of imagination that the passions are kindled.
Where now were her vociferous denunciations of the States, her shrill invectives against Leicester, her big oaths, and all the 'hysterica passio, which had sent poor Lord Burghley to bed with the gout, and inspired the soul of Walsingham with dismal forebodings?
I simply could not command myself! In fact," he went on, smiling, "I very often can only get to the end of a quotation by fixing my mind on something else. I add up the digits giving the number of the page, or I count the plates at the dinner-table. It's very absurd but it takes me in just the same way when I am alone. But it doesn't mean anything; it is just the hysterica passio, you know!"
"Nay, Mac, can it be thus put off with a jest and a sneer, after all? What do you think of these words I came across last night?" and opening his note-book, Clarian read as follows: "For of old it hath been clearly proven, action without passion is nought save idle folly. Passio Christi hominis redemptio.
I quelled this hysterica passio by pushing a walk towards Kaeside and back again, but when I returned I still felt uncomfortable, and all the papers I wanted were out of the way, and all those I did not want seemed to place themselves under my fingers; my cash, according to the nature of riches in general, made to itself wings and fled, I verily believe from one hiding-place to another.
