Note (return) — Chapter XIII
Reading edition
1. The pleasure of movement, excitement, energy (ἡδονὴ ἐν κινήσει). 774 This is the most lively pleasure; it supposes the greatest development of physical and mental power. "Joy and cheerfulness are beheld in motion and energy." But it is not the most enduring pleasure, and it is not the most perfect. It is accompanied by uneasiness; it "brings with it many perturbations," and it yields some bitter fruits.
