  2. Homer, Iliad He bursts upon them all, Bursts as a wave that from the clouds impends, And swelled with tempests on the ship descends; White are the decks with foam; the winds aloud Howl o’er the masts, and sing thro’ every shroud : Pale, trembling, tired the sailors freeze with fears, And instant death on every wave appears.

  4. Edmund Burke, On the beautiful and the sublime Whatever is fitted in any sort to excite the ideas of pain and danger, that is to say, whatever is in any sort terrible, or is conversant about terrible objects, or operates in a manner analogous to terror, is a source of the sublime.
