8. TO DESIRE. Governed by passion, without restraint or self-control.

10. FEAR OF DEATH. Knowledge does not know what is beyond the grave and

therefore fears death.

11. CUT FROM LOVE, ETC. Wallace says: "Knowledge, in its own nature, can

have no love, for love is not of the intellect, and knowledge is all of

the intellect: so, too, she can have no faith, for faith in its nature is

a confession of ignorance, since she believes what she cannot know."

12. PALLAS. Pallas Athene, the goddess of wisdom among the Greeks, was

fabled to have sprung, fully grown and fully armed, from the brain of

Zeus. Wild Pallas means "false wisdom."
