Read the following passage: 'The tragic emotion, in fact, is a face looking two ways, towards terror and towards pity; both of which are phases of it. You see I use the word ARREST. I mean that the tragic emotion is static. Or rather the dramatic emotion is. The feelings excited by improper art are kinetic, desire or loathing... The esthetic emotion is therefore static. The mind is arrested and raised above desire and loathing.' Which literary tradition or work does this passage belong to?
