dilated, although his mouth is open.]

He also observes that the sound of hard breathing is represented by
the syllables _puff, huff, whiff_, whence a _huff_ is a fit of
ill-temper. ]

1009 (return) [ Sir C. Bell, Anatomy of Expression, p. 177. Gratiolet
(De la Phys. p. 369) says, les dents se decouvrent, et imitent
symboliquement l action de dechirer et de mordre. I If, instead of
using the vague term _symboliquement_, Gratiolet had said that the
action was a remnant of a habit acquired during primeval times when our
semi-human progenitors fought together with their teeth, like gorillas
and orangs at the present day, he would have been more intelligible.
Dr. Piderit ( Mimik, &c., s. 82) also speaks of the retraction of the
upper lip during rage. In an engraving of one of Hogarth s wonderful
pictures, passion is represented in the plainest manner by the open
glaring eyes, frowning forehead, and exposed grinning teeth.]
