Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Spectator, Vol. 3 of 3: A New Edition Reproducing the Original Text Both as First Issued, and as Corrected by Its Authors; With Introduction, Notes, and Index Quem tu Melpomene semel Nascentem placido lumine videris, Non illum labor Ishtmius Clarabit pugilem, non equus impiger, &c. Sed quoe Tibur aquoe fertile perfluunt, Et Spissoe nemorum comoe Fingent Æolio carmine nobilem. - Hor. We may observe, that any single Circumstance of what we have formerly seen often raises up a whole Scene of Imagery, and awakens [numberless] Ideas that before slept in the Imagination; such a particular Smell or Colour is able to fill the Mind, on a sudden, with the Picture of the Fields or Gardens, where we first met with it, and to bring up into View all the Variety of Images that once attended it. Our Imagination takes the Hint, and leads us unexpectedly into Cities or Theatres, Plains or Meadows. We may further observe, when the Fancy, thus reflects on the Scenes that have past in it formerly, those which were at first pleasant to behold, appear more so upon Reflection, and that the Memory heightens the Delightfulness of the Original. A Cartesian would account for both these Instances in the following Manner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
