Because tigers and the like, as determinants, belong to the heroic, wondrous, and furious relishes just as to the terrible; shedding tears and the like, as consequents, belong to the pathetic and terrible relishes just as to the erotic; and worry and the like, as transitory emotions, belong to the heroic, pathetic, and terrible relishes just as to the erotic—because individually they are non-exclusive—they are mentioned in combination within the aphorism.
