To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am the sum of all my experiences: All that I have felt, All that I have known, All that I have willed and done, That and more am I. I have touched the world of matter And have found it cold, remorseless, and exacting. I would reject it and forget it, But alas I cannot It presses me on every side, And through it alone can I make known That I am I. I have touched the realm of life And have found it sacrificing, selfish, cruel, and kind. I would hate it, I would love it, Yet I must be of it, For... from it and it alone Can I gather more abundantly The life that is my own. 17. WHAT AM I? I am more than the sum of all my experiences, As my nerve and muscle and brain Are more than the air and the food and the drink That sustain me. I am more than a part of all my progenitors, As my glance and my smile and my speech Are more than my eye and my lips and my tongue That express them. Grown am I from the soil of all my inheritance, As the upas, the thistle, and rose, Each grows from a soil that is different, yet fit To produce it.
