Lewis says he considers affection to be the most basic of loves because it is not all that different from what animals display. He does make the point that it's no less valuable than other types of love. The imagery that he believes best describes that emotion is a mother nursing her young, whether it's a human mother or an animal. This is an example of how the various loves evolve and overlap.
