Bloom is no philosopher and we shouldn't expect him to provide a conceptual
analysis of the sublime, but Catherine Lord we should! (*).
I don't think Popper ever discussed the beautiful-sublime distinction, but
then why should he (cfr. Lakatos and the idea of the beautiful in
mathematics).
While I should not mention H. P. G., I should his sometime colleague (and
sometime of Cornell), F. N. Sibley: that's the one I would expect us to
provide a fruitful conceptual analysis of whether this distinction between the
beautiful and the sublime 'holds', metaphorically, water.
