[2]Reflexions sur la poetique,  36

[3]Painters make no scruple of representing distress and
sorrow as well as any other passion: But they seem not to
dwell so much on these melancholy affections as the poets,
who, tho' they copy every emotion of the human breast, yet
pass very quickly over the agreeable sentiments. A painter
represents only one instant; and if that be passionate enough,
it is sure to affect and delight the spectator: But nothing
can furnish to the poet a variety of scenes and inci dents and
sentiments, except distress, terror, or anxiety. Compleat joy
and satisfaction is attended with security and leaves no
farther room for action.

[4]Illud vero perquam rarum ac memoria dignum, etiam suprema
opera artificum, imperfectasque tabulas, sicut, Irin
Aristidis, Tyndaridas Nicomachi, Medeam Timomachi, et quam
diximus Venerem Apellis, in majori admiratione esse quam
perfecta. Quippe in iis lineamenta reliqua, ipsaeque
cogitationes artificum spectantur, atque in lenocinio
commendationis dolor est manus, cum id ageret, extinctae. Lib.
xxxv,11.
