THE SUBLIME.
CHAPTER IX.
THE SUBLIME.
Every one is conscious, in his own feelings, of a remarkable difference in the effect produced on him by those objects which are called beautiful, and by another class, addressed to the same power of judgment, but which are called sublime. There is a peculiar feeling of complacency, of admiration mingled with a sort of awe, awakened by whatever presents itself to the senses or to the imagination under any such form of undefined vastness or grand- eur as see...ms to stagger and confound all power of distinctly conceiving it. Thus the broad ocean, an interminable desert, the depth beyond depth of the starry heavens, the crash of thunder, the shout of a vast multitude of men, and the like, produce, whenj^/^^ there is no immediate or urgent sense of fear, an) effect on us which I know not how better to de- scribe than by saying that it is at once pleasing and elevating. The awe is not such as to depress or humble, but rather to raise us. The sublimity which we attribute to the outward object is in some sort a reflection from our own minds.
