SENSITIVENESS. 309 



placability, subinissiveness ; for instance, in the processes of 

 taming and charming. 



The subject of cesthetic taste the appreciation of physical 

 beanty, in form and colour fell more naturally to be con- 

 sidered in the chapter on ' Courtship and Marriage ; ' for it 

 is chiefly in connection with mating, and the inter-relation 

 of the sexes prior to that event, that beauty of person is 

 displayed by the male and admired by the female. Here 

 it must suffice to say that pleasure and pain are derived 

 from the contemplation of colour and form, as from the 

 impressions of sound, just in other animals as in man 

 (Darwin).
