return! --W. Irving.

Usage: Emotion, Feeling, Agitation. Feeling is the
weaker term, and may be of the body or the mind.
Emotion is of the mind alone, being the excited action
of some inward susceptibility or feeling; as, an
emotion of pity, terror, etc. Agitation may the bodily
or mental, and usually arises in the latter case from
a vehement struggle between contending desires or
emotions. See Passion. ``Agitations have but one
character, viz., that of violence; emotions vary with
the objects that awaken them. There are emotions
either of tenderness or anger, either gentle or
strong, either painful or pleasing.'' --Crabb.
