Dear Ones, in harmonious agreements,(say Jon and Robin)
don't you think that jealousy can cause exactly the same feelings: (plus
panic!)
say, hopelessness, panic, like shock, causes the blood to drain from the
extremities.(and in my experience, much more, till feeling like fainting!)??
The only thing I do not agree with is the pallor - I still believe that one
turns "green", like Saffo says. Green for pouring of bile from the reposed
organ in the abdominal cavity.
Do I have to deduct (from your refusal to accept my version) that you were
never jealous
in your life, hopelessly jealous (like one is at a wedding were no further
hope can be nourished (well, even then, you never know!)
