Bain

on the senses & intellect

p 96 during any "inward feeling or Consciousness, there is a diffusive action or excitement over the bodily members."

[Expression, pp. 8-9: "Mr. Bain, however, in two of his works has treated the subject at some length. He says,8 "I look upon the expression so-called as part and parcel of the feeling. I believe it to be a general law of the mind that, along with the fact of inward feeling or consciousness, there is a diffusive action or excitement over the bodily members." In another place he adds, "A very considerable number of the facts may be brought under the following principle: namely, that states of pleasure are connected with an increase, and states of pain with an abatement, of some, or all, of the

vital functions." But the above law of the diffusive action of feelings seems too general to throw much light on special expressions."]

Bain ─ senses

p. 297 prolonged scream sign of agony &c this requires a deep inspiration (C.D)

[Expression, p. 176: "Prolonged screaming inevitably leads to the gorging of the blood-vessels of the eye; and this will have led, at first consciously and at last habitually, to the contraction of the muscles round the eyes in order to protect them."]

332. Good sentence on association of actions, sensations &c. for general [Principle] of man

[Expression, p. 31: "Mr. Bain remarks, that "actions, sensations and states of feeling, occurring together or in close succession, tend to grow together, or cohere, in such a way that when any one of them is afterwards presented to the mind, the others are apt to be brought up in idea."5

Bain on the emotions

6. (C.D) a mother may feel deepest love for her infant & yet this is not exhibited by any marked expression; I explain because it habitually leads to no action; let her infant be injured & mark the difference

[Expression, p. 78: "No emotion is stronger than maternal love; but a mother may feel the deepest love for her helpless infant, and yet not show it by any outward sign; or only by slight caressing movements, with a gentle smile and tender eyes."]

What do poets mean when they speak of green-eyed jealousy?

[Expression, p. 79: "Painters can hardly portray suspicion, jealousy, envy, &c., except by the aid of accessories which tell the tale; and poets use such vague and fanciful expressions as "green-eyed jealousy.""]

67. I say Lynx sets up its back & spits.

120 a rogue chuckles over his knavery ─

127. If an irresistible being injures a man it does not excite anger, whist the same act from an equal wd do so.

[Expression, p. 239: "If, on the other hand, he is all-powerful, then hatred passes into terror, as when a slave thinks about a cruel master, or a savage about a bloodthirsty malignant deity.1

1 See some remarks to this effect by Mr. Bain, 'The Emotions and the Will,' 2nd edit. 1865, p. 127."]

247. discussion on laughter: the gods in Homer laughed from joy after their banquet.

[Expression, p. 198: "The laughter of the gods is described by Homer as "the exuberance of their celestial joy after their daily banquet.""]
