The Sublime:
Something immense, terrifying and beautiful. Often a feeling caused by nature.
Dracula - "As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean." Terror mixed with beauty and awe
Chapter 1: "There were dark, rolling clouds overhead, and in the air, the oppressive sense of thunder."
Dorian Gray: Aesthetic sense - Dorian is sublimely beautiful, his beauty is greater than any mans. His realisation of this and his obsession become his downfall.
