"A man may resort to the wife of another, for the purpose of saving his own life, when he perceives that his love for her proceeds from one degree of intensity to another. These degrees are ten in number, and are distinguished by the following marks: 1. Love of the eye 2. Attachment of the eye 3. Constant reflection 4. Destruction of sleep 5. Emaciation of the body 6. Turning away from objects of enjoyment 7. Removal of shame 8. Madness 9. Fainting 10. Death"
