Caput 33: Amor rationis oblivio et insaniae proximus

from De Senecae tragoediis · host Valahfridus Stroh

Seneca Veneris partes deleuit. Neque enim ut Stoicus concedere uoluit amoris affectum esse inter deos collocandum. Nam in libro De matrimonio scripsit (fr. 81 H.): „Amor formae rationis obliuio est et insaniae proximus: […] turbat consilia, altos et generosos spiritus frangit […].“ Unde igitur amor? Non e Venere eiusue puero, sed e luxuria malaque uitae consuetudine. Id nutrix Phaedrae aperte declarat. Quae amoris exemplum pessimum est.
