Art/Literary - Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts) | | English term or phrase: fascinated delight | The flip side of beauty is the sublime, a special case in which we experience a sort of ***fascinated delight*** at scenes and situations that are overwhelming, vast, or even terrifying. These are not hard to find, as anyone would agree who has stood on the edge of a volcano’s crater as the Earth starts to shake, or been caught out in the open with lightning strikes getting closer.
Vorrei trovare un traducente che esprima anche quel senso di "terrore" che è implicito nel sublime.
Grazie. |

| Grading comment "Rapimento estatico" è come avevo tradotto anch'io, ma non mi convinceva perché mancava il senso di "awe" tipico del sublime. Avrei pensato a "soggezione estatica" o qualcosa di simile. Comunque, grazie anche a Gianluca, Barbara e Danila.
