Whether that which is desired is loved or unloved, and desire relates only to what the soul has in obtaining a special pleasure. The place of desire is the animal soul and the place of will is the rational soul. Desire has pleasure that precedes the desired in existence, and it has an imaginary pleasure related to imagining the existence of the desired, so that pleasure is compared to it in existence, so it is found in the soul. Before the desire and pleasure obtain, compared to the existence of the desire to obtain in the possession of the desire, so the desire to attain disappears and the pleasure remains, so the essence of desire is not the essence of pleasure, because it is destroyed by the acquisition of the desire and the preservation of pleasure.
