An Essay Concerning Human Understanding Section S12
Section 613 of 1,114
Canonical reference B2.C33.S12
English
Project Gutenberg transcription of Locke author text
A man has suffered pain or sickness in any place; he saw his friend die in such a room: though these have in nature nothing to do one with another, yet when the idea of the place occurs to his mind, it brings (the impression being once made) that of the pain and displeasure with it: he confounds them in his mind, and can as little bear the one as the other.
French
Pierre Coste · Pierre Mortier, Amsterdam, 1735, third edition
Un homme a ſouffert de la douleur, ou a été malade dans un certain Lieu : il a vû mourir ſon ami dans une telle chambre. Quoi que ces choſes n’ayent naturellement aucune liaiſon l’une avec l’autre, cependant l’impreſſion étant une fois faite, lorſque l’idée de ce Lieu ſe préſente à ſon Eſprit, elle porte avec elle une idée de douleur & de déplaiſir ; il les confond enſemble, & peut auſſi peu ſouffrir, l’une de l’autre.
