To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We pass quickly to our last subject, the use and training of the imagination. No need to dwell upon the advantage of keeping it clean. 144 Everyman's galieky It is itself the power of substituting one thing for another ; we can deliberately hunt for better and better images, without going outside of the store we have already laid up. We can also look for better and better images in external nature. We can also improve our taste in books, through a determination to find the best. Every one knows... that he ought to read the Bible, and things like the works of Plato and Dante. For the cleansing of the imagination I will but refer to Dante's wonderful stream of memory and forgetfulness, one stream, with the dual name of Lethe and Eunoe. After bathing in Lethe, the poet has forgotten all he should forget, all images of sin, folly, confusion, and pain; by bathing in Eunoe he fixes once and for all, clearly, every image it is good for him to re- member. That is what he aims to do for the student of the Commedia, for the whole poem is a stream which when we plunge into it bears off the deadly grime of what we should forget, and tends to fix for ever the pure images by which the contemplating mind survives.
