So also it will certainly be found with all the senses, that they individually
receive the greatest and purest pleasure when they are in right condition and
degree of subordination to all the rest; and that by the over cultivation of any one, (for
morbid sources of pleasure and correspondent temptations to irrational
indulgence, confessedly are attached to all,) we shall add more to their power
as instruments of punishment than of pleasure. paintings for sale
We see then, in this example of the lowest sense, that the power we have over
sensations and preferences depends mainly on the exercise of attention through
certain prolonged periods, and that by this exercise, we arrive at ultimate,
constant, and common sources of agreeableness, casting off those which are
external, accidental, and individual. painting for sale
