Bain on Tender Emotion 12 new Edit see p. 240 on Touch as signs
I ought perhaps to quote.
(Tender Feelings)
[Expression, p. 215: "A strong desire to touch the beloved person is commonly felt; and love is expressed by this means more plainly than by any other.21
21 Mr. Bain remarks ('Mental and Moral Science,' 1868, p. 239), 'Tenderness is a pleasurable emotion, variously stimulated, whose effort is to draw human beings into mutual embrace.'"]
