Infinity1, though of another kind, causes much of our pleasure in agreeable, as well as of our delight in
sublime2 images. The spring is the pleasantest of the seasons; and the young of most animals, though far from being completely fashioned, afford a more agreeable sensation than the full-grown; because the imagination is entertained with the promise of something more, and does not
acquiesce3 in the present object of the sense. In unfinished
sketches4 of drawing, I have often seen something which pleased me beyond the best finishing; and this I believe proceeds from the cause I have just now assigned.
