/lit/ - Literature

I've read Scruton's Beauty and am aware of the term and its separateness from Beauty, but I'm not entirely sure that what I'm describing falls under the Sublime. I'd say I experienced the Sublime when I walked by myself in the Scottish Highlands on a blustery winter day and I actually teared up and got goosebumps upon coming up to this (see photo). It was a 2 hour walk in a valley to reach a remote corrie and loch. That falls under the traditional feeling of the Sublime since it relates to nature and to the elevated spirit. But I'm almost talking about a lesser version of that. I just mean I have this intense appreciation even for things like single statues or paintings. It doesn't need to be on such a high level. I'm doing a terrible job at explaining this. I might elaborate later on.

Teared up when I came to this by myself.

Frankenstein is my book choice. .
