Thirdly, with regard to the union of the eye with the neighboring parts, it is to hold the same rule that is given of other beautiful ones; it is not to make a strong deviation from the line of the neighboring parts; nor to verge into any exact geometrical figure.

Besides all this, the eye affects, as it is expressive of some qualities of the mind, and its principal power generally arises from this; so that what we have just said of the physiognomy is applicable here.
SECTION XXI.
UGLINESS.
It may perhaps appear like a sort of repetition of what we have before said, to insist here upon the nature of _ugliness_; as I imagine it to be in all respects the opposite to those qualities which we have laid down for the constituents of beauty.

But though ugliness be the opposite to beauty, it is not the opposite to proportion and fitness.

For it is possible that a thing may be very ugly with any proportions, and with a perfect fitness to any uses.

Ugliness I imagine likewise to be consistent enough with an idea of the sublime.
