It was not the passion that was new to her, it was the yearning adoration. she knew she had always feared it, for it left her helpless; she feared it still, lest if se adored him too much, then she would lose herself, become effaced, and she did not want to be effaced, a slave, like a savage woman. she must not become a slave. she feared her adoration, yet she would not at once fight against it.

Misunderstanding may arise by confusing the buddhist and scientific definitions of death. within the scientific system you spoke quite validly of the death of the brain and the death of heart. different parts of the body can die separately. however, in the buddhist system, the word death is not used in that way. you'd never speak of the death of a particular part of the body, but rather of the death of an entire person. when people say that a certain person died, we don't ask, "well, which part died?"
