More on the sublime: Burke and Satan
from amimetobios Hosted by Amimetobios
Back to Satan in Books 1 and 2, via Burke's chapter on "How words influence the Passions," where he quotes "Rocks, caves, lakes, fens, bogs, dens, and shades of death, / A universe of death" from Book 2. The sublime in Burke and Kant (and Nietzsche, and a little Longinus) as the inner response to outer disorder, in contrast to the beautiful. Delight vs. pleasure. Magnificence of Satan. "Yet faithful how they stood, / Their glory withered."
