Subject:        Aesthetic Effects!

I am wondering if anyone on the list can help me,  I once heard of a
description of a person who was physically overcome by the aesthetic
beauty of a painting (I believe).  This was then medically described.
Does anybody know the name of this syndrome / effect / phenomenon?

Regards,
Scott Crozier

I've received the following request for a friend on the classics list. I
know I have read a good deal about this motto somewhere in the past but
can't for the life of me remember where at the moment. Can anyone out
there give us a hand on this? My thanks in advance.

"The Classics list has been arguing about a Latin motto supposedly
painted on the Globe-"totus mundus facit histrionem" or some such. They
want to know where it came from and what it's supposed to mean (it's
pretty bad Latin). Do you know? "
