To Feel One’s Heart Fill/Filled With?

“Stephen felt his heart filled by Fleming’s words and did not answer.”

I read this sentence, from Portrait of the Artist, and wondered if the use of the past participle filled was an abbreviation or ellipsis of a larger construction and whether there would be much difference between the verb fill and participle filled had Joyce chosen the former instead of the latter. One describes an action, the other a state, right? But each is fine?

Consider your stomach: If you feel your stomach "filled" that means you've eaten enough. If you feel your stomach "fill" that means you can sense food entering it. A process vs an end state.

The heart, in this sense, is a little more metaphoric, but the same basic idea.
