A typical example of the dynamic Sublime is the sight of a storm. Here, what shakes our spirit is not the impression of infinite vastness, but of infinite power: in this case, too, our sensible nature is left humiliated and, again this is a source of feeling of unease, compensated for by the sense of our moral greatness, against which the forces nature are powerless.

These ideas, which were to nourish the Romantic sensibility, were later taken up and elaborated in diverse ways by a variety of authors throughout the eighteenth century. For Schiller, the Sublime is an object of representation in the presence of which our physical nature becomes aware of its own limitations, in the same way as our reasonable nature feels itself o be superior to and independent of all limitations (On the
Sublime). For George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel it was an attempt to express the infinite without finding an object in the realm of phenomena that might prove itself i=fit for this representation (Aesthetics: Lectures on
Fine Art II, 2, 1835)
