From Don Quixote, by Miguel de Cervantes, translated by Tobias SmollettNEVER AS YET
"'I have never as yet seen, in any book of chivalry, an intire body of a fable, with all its members so proportioned, as that the middle corresponds with the beginning, and the end is suitable to both; on the contrary, one would think the author's intention is commonly to form a chimera or monster, instead of a figure well proportioned in all its parts.'"
From Volume 1, Book IV, Chapter XX
