"This [love] sprouts through fondness, puts forth shoots through amour-propre;
with buds through intimate affection, it blossoms through affection."
2.348.p2
Therefore, in this example, affection can be savoured only in the form of love, not as a separate durable emotional state. And thus, because affection is explained as a variety of love, it is established by implication that the affectionate aesthetic sentiment too is not distinct from the erotic sentiment.
