NotesClark notes that the heart is understood to be the seat of the emotions, the abiding-place of tenderness and anger, love and hatred, pleasure and pain, of joy and sorrow, and of courage and fear. All the influences which color life directly aggest the heart. In distress it is weighted to the ground,--pressed down and covered with clouse. In happiness it is light,--lifted up into sunshine. In anger the heart is bad. In love it is good. In homesickness it looks wearily towards the land of nativity. |
