John Dennis was a British Philosopher and was the first one to publish his comments about nature being sublime in a journal letter published as Miscellanies in 1693. He gave an account of crossing the Alps. His exclaimed his prior feelings for the beauty of nature as "delight that is consistent with reason", yet the experience of the journey was at once a pleasure to the eye as music is to the ear, but "mingled with Horrors, and sometimes almost with despair".
This is a picture of Grosser Mythen, in the Swiss Alps.
