1500. What the punishment of horror of darkness accomplishes
When they have been thus let into the dark hole [1492 1/2-93], and afterwards come into the daylight, then as soon as they want revenge, that horror occurs to them, and so they desist. It is horror, therefore, that answers to those [evils of revenge], while fright and fear respond to other evils. They are frightened away by them. 1748, 18 March.
