"Our natural way of thinking about these coarser emotions is that the mental perception of some fact excites the mental affection called the emotion, and that this latter state of mind gives rise to the bodily expression. My theory, on the contrary, is that the bodily changes follow directly the perception of the exciting fact, and that our feeling of the same changes as they occur, is the emotion. We feel sorry because we cry, angry because we strike, afraid because we tremble, and not that we cry, strike, or tremble, because we are sorry, angry, or fearful, as the case may be. Objects do excite bodily changes by a preorganized mechanism, changes are so indefinitely numerous and subtle that the entire organism may be called a sounding-board which every change of consciousness however slight may make reverberate. The various permutations and combinations of which these organic activities are susceptible make it abstractly possible that no shade of emotions however slight, should be without bodily reveaberration as unique, when taken in its total, as is the mental mood itself."

[Emotions which manifest in strong facial and mouth movements (see below some dealt with by Darwin) cannot adequately be represented by a static model]
