JOY IS A PHYSICAL SENSATION

'For I myself find that if, during a moment of intense aesthetic rapture, one tries to turn round and catch by introspection what one is actually feeling, one can never lay one's hand on anything but a physical sensation. In my case it is a kind of kick or flutter in the diaphragm.' 
CS Lewis, 'Transposition' in CS Lewis Essay Collection: Faith, Christianity and the Church, p.269.
