To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These Sisters by what name shall we call them ? If I say simply " The Sorrows, " there will be a chance of mistaking the term ; it might be under- stood of individual sorrow, separate cases of sor- row, whereas I want a term expressing the mighty abstractions that incarnate themselves in all individ- ual sufferings of man's heart, and I wish to have these abstractions presented as impersonations, that is, as clothed with human attributes of life, and with functions pointing to flesh. Let us cal...l them, therefore, Our Ladies of Sorrow. I know them thoroughly, and have walked in all their kingdoms. Three sisters they are, of one mys- terious household ; and their paths are wide apart ; but of their dominion there is no end. Them I saw often conversing with Levana, and sometimes about myself. Do they talk, then ? O no ! Mighty phan- toms like these disdain the infirmities of language. De Quincey 169 They may utter voices through the organs of man when they dwell in human hearts, but amongst themselves is no voice nor sound ; eternal silence reigns in their kingdoms.
