+ What is involved in such [close] relationships is a form of emotional
+chemistry, so far unexplained by any school of psychiatry I am aware of, that
+conditions nothing so simple as a choice between the poles of attraction and
+repulsion. You can meet some people thirty, forty times down the years, and
+they remain amiable bystanders, like the shore lights of towns that a sailor
+passes at stated times but never calls at on the regular run. Conversely,
+all considerations of sex aside, you can meet some other people once or twice
+and they remain permanent influences on your life.
+ Everyone is aware of this discrepancy between the acquaintance seen
+as familiar wallpaper or instant friend. The chemical action it entails is
+less worth analyzing than enjoying. At any rate, these six pieces are about
+men with whom I felt an immediate sympat - to use a coining of Max Beerbohm's
+more satisfactory to me than the opaque vogue word "empathy".
