Fear is divided into six varieties: viz., shrinking, shame,
disgrace, consternation, panic, anxiety. Shrinking is fear of some
act about to take place. Shame is fear arising from the anticipation
of blame: and this is the highest form of the affection. Disgrace is
fear springing from some base act already done, and even for this form
there is some hope of salvation. Consternation is fear originating in
some huge prOduct of the imagination. Panic is fear caused by some
unusual product of the imagination. Anxiety is fear of failure, that
is, of misfortune: for when we fear that our efforts will not meet
with success, we suffer anxiety.
