To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It nei- ther violently vibrates nor wearies the nerves of the eye, but is restful, good to live with, cheering at times, and soothing always. Its accompanying feat- ures in painting, such as atmosphere, soft broken light, and values, are, moreover, unfailing excellences of art, full of subtile problems of technic and deli- cate gradations of color which continually unfold new pleasures to us the more we study them. True enough it is not fitted by its nature to present us with those ideas of a l...iterary or an historical kind TONE AND LIGHT-AND-SHADE 91 which some people seem to think the chief aim of art. But then, perhaps, it would be as well for us if we should know less about the triumphs of Scipio dead and gone, and more about the triumphs of nature as she passes before us day after daj', robed in such garments as never monarch wore, and accompanied by such a procession of changing beauties as never conqueror knew. Light-and-Shade. — Night and day, light and dark, sun and shade are opposing forces.
