The passion caused by the great and sublime in nature, when those causes operate most powerfully, is Astonishment; and astonishment is that state of the soul, in which all its motions are suspended, with some degree of horror. In this case the mind is so entirely filled with its object, that it cannot entertain any other, nor by consequence reason on that object which employs it. J.M. TURNER, The Saint
Gothard
To make anything very terrible, obscurity seems in general to be necessary….the ocean is an object of no small terror. Indeed terror is in all cases whatsoever, … the ruling principle of the sublime.
