To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Creating his own subjects we get such as the Founds already described, Hesterna Rosa, a picture of satiated sensuality, and all the long list of subjects such as How They Met Themselves i\\o lovers faced by their own apparitions Mona Rosa, The Loving Cu}^, Mariana, Veronica Veronese, Fiammetta, Lilith, and many others. The Blessed Damozel, both in the poem and in the picture, carries the love that is but personal attachment Vegoisme a deux personnes, in the French phrase beyond the grave ; Asta...rte Syriaca recreates the goddess who, in old-time belief, delighted in such love. Rarely does he appeal to anything higher than the sensuous emotion. It intrudes even when Joan of Arc is kissing the sword of deliverance. Of the love that endures in higher love that is wholly disinterested, has no return on self he rarely gives a hint. Such a sweetly simple picture as JoU Coeur seems almost out of place amongst so many in which not kind-heartedness, but the love that does little more than seek self in another, gazes out upon us from a world of luxurious beauty.
