Metaphor in Context
The beautiful and sublime are here mingled in the superlative degree; the great Creator's works, unspoiled by art, rush on the mind, and fill it with delight and awe.--These mixed sensations overcame my spirits, nor do I blush to say I found relief from tears. I should look upon a man who could behold this scene unmoved, to be deficient in some part of his organization, and pity him for his natural incapacity.
