vérité / truth
Every episode of language refers to the ‘sensation of truth’ the amorous subject experiences in thinking of his love, either because he believes he is the only one to see the loved object ‘in the truth’, or because he defines the specialty of his own requirement as a truth concerning which he cannot yield.
angoisse / anxiety
The amorous subject, according to one contingency or another, feels swept away by the danger, an injury, an abandonment, a revulsion - a sentiment he expresses under the name anxiety.
corps / body
Any thought, any feeling, any interest aroused in the amorous subject by the loved body.
