The face may look attentive, but the mind wanders to more appealing objects. Short lived and easily exhausted. Weary and painful to the power of body and mind. Prone to yawning or dozing with exhaustion. Little or no interest and no pleasure in studying a task.
Attracted attention is a mind full of power with an eagerness to grasp and possess knowledge.
It is a boy that is full of wonder and delight reading a story. Dormant energies converted into play and action. Mental power alert with desire and eager for gratification. Conscious effort with eager delight. Mental hunger hunting its food and delighting itself as at a feast.
