    The perfection of an art consists in the employment of a
    comprehensive system of laws, commensurate to every purpose
    within its scope, but concealed from the eye of the spectator;
    and in the production of effects that seem to flow forth
    spontaneously, as though uncontrolled by their influence, and
    which are equally excellent, whether regarded individually, or in
    reference to the proposed result.
