Intoxication shews itself by the eyes half shut, sleepy, stupid, inflamed.  An idiot smile, a ridiculous surliness, an affected bravado, disgraces the bloated countenance.  The mouth open tumbles out nonsense in heaps, without articulation enough for any ear to take it in, and unworthy of attention, if it could be taken In.  The head seems too heavy for the neck.  The arms dangle from the shoulders; as if they were almost cut away, and hung by shreds.  The legs totter and bend at the knees, as ready to sink under the weight of the reeling body.  And a general incapacity, corporeal and mental, exhibits human nature sunk below the brutal.

Anger, (violent) or Rage expresses itself with rapidity, interruption, noise, harshness, and trepidation.  The neck stretched out; the head forward, often nodding and shaken in a menacing manner, against the object of the passion.  The eyes red, inflamed, staring, rolling, and sparkling; the eyebrows drawn down over them; and the forehead wrinkled into clouds.  The nostrils stretched wide; every vein swelled; every muscle strained; the breast heaving, and the breath fetched hard.  The mouth open, and drawn on each side toward the ears, shewing the teeth in a gnashing posture.  The face bloated, pale, red, or sometimes almost black.  The feet stamping:  the right arm often thrown out, and menacing with the clenched fist shaken, and a general end violent agitation of the whole body.

Peevishism or Ill-nature is a lower degree of anger; and is therefore expressed in the above manner, only more moderate, with half sentences, and broken speeches, uttered hastily; the upper lip drawn up disdainfully; the eyes asquint upon the object of displeasure.

Malice or Spite, sets the jaws, or gnashes with the teeth; sends blasting flashes from the eyes; draws the mouth toward the ears; clenches both fists, and bends the elbows in a straining manner.  The tone of voice and expression, are much the same with that of anger; but the pitch not so loud.

Envy is a little more moderate in its gestures than malice, but much the same in kind.

Revenge expresses itself as malice.

Cruelty.  See Anger, Aversion, Malice and the other irrascible passions.

Complaining as when one is under violent bodily pain, distorts the features; almost closes the eyes; sometimes raises them wishfully; opens the mouth; gnashes with the teeth; draws up the upper lip; draws down the head upon the breast, and the whole body together.  The arms are violently bent at the elbows, and the fists strongly clenched.  The voice is uttered in groans, lamentations, and violent screams.  Extreme torture produces fainting, and death.

Fatigue from severe labour, gives a general languor to the whole body.  The countenance is dejected. (See Grief.) The arms hang listless; the body (if sitting or lying along be not the posture) stoops, as in old-age. (See Dotage.) The legs, if walking, are dragged heavily along, and seem at every step ready to bend under the weight of the body.  The voice is weak, and the words hardly enough articulated to be understood.
