To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For this reason, a prisoner may ascend a throne, whilst a king may become a beggar in his own kingdom. Yet, this keen observer of life knows well the precariousness of all such dignities. Men worship the " rising sun. " There is "no end of all the people " that flock around him. Then follows the crowning stroke of the irony of history : the idol of to- day is dethroned to-morrow and forgotten by the next generation. Such are the times in which he lives. The insecurity of life depresses him. Thi...s well-meaning " comforter " is at his wits' end again. He has considered oppression, wept with those that wept, struggled against a despairing mood. But he knows that he has failed to pierce the cloud and comfort the mourner. We still hear the plaintive cry, " They have no comforter . . . No comforter. " in How can we comfort our fellow-men under all the oppressions that are done " under the sun " ? Much human comfort intensifies pain. Job's " comforters " have gained immortal reproach. The theory that sin and suffering are in all cases connected cannot be har- monised with experience.
