THE PASSIONS,
63
nostrils rise up and are contracted towards the eyes; the mouth half opens, and the spirits being
in motion give a lively glowing colour.—(Plate 38.)
Very little alteration is remarked in the face of those who feel within themselves the sweetness of
joy, or joy with tranquillity. The forehead is serene; the eye-brow without motion elevated in
the middle; the eye pretty open and with a laughing air; the eye-ball lively and shining; the cor-
ners of the mouth turn up a little; the complexion is lively, the cheeksand lips are red.—(Plate 37.)
Laughter which is produced by joy mixed with surprise makes the eye-brows rise towards the
middle of the eye, and bend towards the sides of the nose ; the eyes are almost shut, and some-
times appear wet or shed tears, which make no alteration in the face ; the mouth half open shews
the teeth ; the corners of the mouth drawn back cause a wrinkle in the cheeks, which appear so
swelled as to hide the eyes in some measure; the nostrils are open, and all the face is of a red
colour.—(Plate 36.)
A'cute pain makes the eye-brows approach one another, and rise towards the middle ; the eye-
ball is hid under the eye-brows ; the nostrils rise and make a wrinkle in the cheeks ; the mouth
half opens and draws back ; all the parts of the face are agitated in proportion to the violence of
the pain.—(Plate 39-)
Simple bodily pain produces proportionately the same motion as the last but not so strong: the
eye-brows do not approach and rise so much ; the eye-bah appears fixed on some object; the
nostrils rise, but the wrinkles in the cheeks are less perceiveable; the lips are further asunder to-
wards the middle, and the mouth is half open.—(Plate 37.)
The dejection that is produced by sadness makes the eye-brows rise towards the middle of the
forehead more than towards the cheeks; the eye-ball appears full of perturbation; the white of the
eye is yellow ; the eye-lids are drawn down and a little swelled ; all about the eyes is livid ; the
nostrils are drawn downward ; the mouth is half open and the corners ar^drawn down ; the head
carelessly leaning on one of the shoulders ; the face is of a lead colour ; the lips pale.—(Plate 39.)
The alterations that zveeping occasions are strongly marked : the eye-brows sunk down towards
the middle of the forehead; the eyes are almost closed wet and drawn down towards the cheeks;
the nostrils swelled; the muscles and veins of the forehead appear; the mouth is shut and the
sides of it are drawn down, making wrinkles on the cheeks ; the under lip pushed out presses the
upper one ; all the face is wrinkled and contracted ; its colour is red, especially about the eye-
brows the nose and the cheeks.—(Plate 36.)
The lively attention to the misfortunes of another which is called compassion, causes the eye-
brows to sink towards the middle of the forehead ; the eye-ball to be fixed upon the object; the
sides of the nostrils, next the nose, to be a little elevated, making wrinkles in the cheeks ; the
mouth to be open, the upper lip to be lifted up and thrust forwards ; the muscles and all the parts
of the face sinking down and turning towards the object which excites the passion.—(Plate 38.)
The motions of scorn are lively and strong; the forehead is wrinkled ; the eye-brow is knit;
the side of it next the nose sinks down, and the other rises very much ; the eye is very open and
the eye-ball is in the middle ; the nostrils rise and draw towards the eyes, and make wrinkles in
•the cheeks; the mouth shuts its sides, sinking down, and the under lip is pushed out beyond the
upper one.—(Plate 38.)
An object despised sometimes causes horror, and then the eve-brow knits and sinks a great deal
more. The eye-ball placed at the bottom of the eye is half covered by the lower eye-lid ; the
mouth
