2. All beautiful or sublime Motion is ex- pressed in language by verbs in the active voice. We say, even in common language, that a torrent pours, a stream glides, a rivulet winds, that lightning darts, that light streams. Change
...these Expressions, by means of any verbs in the passive voice, and the whole Beauty of their Motion is destroyed. In poetical Composition, the same circumstance is uniformly observable. If Motion were in itself beautiful or sub- lime, or if any particular kinds of Motion were so, these circumstances could not hap- pen ; and such Motions would still be beau- tiful or sublime, whether they were express- ive of Power or not The character of Power varies according to its degree, and produces, according to this difference, different Emotions in our mind.
