          kind of enjoyment except that of the animal appetites;
          felicity is a more formal word, and is used more
          sparingly in the same general sense, but with elevated
          associations; blessedness is applied to the most
          refined enjoyment arising from the purest social,
          benevolent, and religious affections; bliss denotes
          still more exalted delight, and is applied more
          appropriately to the joy anticipated in heaven.
