Every sort of project, plan, or combination for the future supposes the final cause, and yet it can only be executed by degrees.' A merchant who undertakes a great affair sets before himself an end,' which, perhaps, may only be attained several ygars afterwards; yet to attain this end, he inust take a thousand intermediate steps, and, starting from the point where he is..., add day by day, and in some sort piece by piece, each of the operations of which the whole must be composed. So with an author composing a book, with a great captain making a plan of battle. It is just the impatience caused by these necessary intermediate steps that explains the pleasure of fairy tales, in which we see the desired thing suddenly produced by the fiat of an enchanter.
