Abstract
There is a conviction in many people's minds that to understand the mechanism of something is to remove the wonder. This is an odd conviction—the same people do not, I imagine, suppose that the enjoyment of music disappears if one knows some musical theory, or the pleasure in a painting if one knows the name of the artist—but it exists.
