--Milton.

Syn: Pleased; gratified; exhilarated; animated; delighted;
happy; cheerful; joyous; joyful; cheering; exhilarating;
pleasing; animating.

Usage: {Glad}, {Delighted}, {Gratified}. Delighted expresses
a much higher degree of pleasure than glad. Gratified
always refers to a pleasure conferred by some human
agent, and the feeling is modified by the
consideration that we owe it in part to another. A
person may be glad or delighted to see a friend, and
gratified at the attention shown by his visits.
[1913 Webster]
