NYE’S DEFINITION OF THE SUBLIME (XIII): “One of the most powerful human emotions” “[C]an weld society together” “In moments of sublimity, human beings
temporarily disregard divisions among elements of the community.”
“[T]aps into fundamental hopes and fears.” “[It] is an essentially religious feeling, aroused
by the confrontation with impressive objects such as Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, the New York skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, or the earth-shaking launch of a space shuttle.”
“[I]s inscribed within public life”
