Tristram Shandy, III, XXIII.
.
O ye POWERS! (for powers ye are, and great ones too)— which enable mortal man to tell a story worth the hearing,— that kindly shew him, where he is to begin it,— and where he is to end it, — what he is to put into it, — and what he is to leave out, — how much of it he is to cast into shade, — and whereabouts he is to throw his light!——
