To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We can deceive our fellows, but these silent and august inquisitors we may not deceive. They easily pass through our defences. They interrogate us as to what we really know of the deep things of life. We cannot put them off with the facile criticisms we have got from books. They speak to us in their own language, and if we have never learnt its grammar we have to confess that we find them unintelligible. I think that looking at a very great picture is as formidable an experience as interviewing... a very great man. The interview no doubt will afford us an unaffected pleasure and a certain glow of pride in the retrospect. " Yes, " we shall be able afterwards to boast to our less privileged acquaintance, " I had a talk with him once, " and all the while our conscience will accuse us of suppressio veri, for we shall know that it was he who talked to us and we who were not able to respond. And with the same certainty we know whether or not we are able to respond to words that are spoken in paint.
