Laocoon

p 252 quotes from Klotzii Epistle

"other disagreeable emotions never excite unmodified disgust — our fear is seldom deprived of every ray of hope; terror gives animation to all our energies to enable us to escape the threatened danger; rage is combined with the desire of vengeance, & melancholy with the agreeable image of former happiness, whiles compassion is irreparable from the tender emotion of benevolence & love - - - - - - the wrathful man prefers the indulgence of his rage, and the sorrowful; man that of his objection to all the joyful ideas, with which one may thought to assuage their emotions.—

It is quite otherwise with the feeling of disgust," — either in imitation or reality that soul attempts to recoil from it.—

Disgust chiefly allied with taste, smell touch, much less with sight (except by assoc) though Lessing thinks an ugly portrait no eyebrow. disgusting.—

There is much truth in this.
