“Men of superior vivacity and wit, when they take a wrong turn, are generally worse than other men: because wit, consisting in a lively representation of ideas assembled together, gives every sensible object those heightening touches, and that striking imagery, which is unknown to men of slower apprehensions: wit being to sensible objects, what light is to bodies; it does not merely show them as they are in themselves: it gives an adventitious colour, which is not a property inherent in them: it lends them beauties which are not their own.” MenGivingDoeIdeasShowsBodyLightTogetherTurnsObjectsPropertyWitSuperiorsColourSensibleInherentRepresentationImageryLivelyApprehensionWrong TurnVivacity Author:Jeremiah Seed
