To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But no prohibition could reduce him to com- plete idleness. He declared, and with truth, as regarded the severe finish he exacted in his work, that writing was laborious to him as a birth, yet in another sense it was as easy and spontaneous as thought ; he could never come upon a place or an event of striking interest without being irresistibly moved to write off an account of it to some absent friend. Thanks to this habit of photographing his impressions, a full and graphic narrative of his va...rious journeys has been pre- served to us. So it was on this Breton tour; every incident of the road is related in a series of spirited letters to his brothers. When his brother Charles scolded him for this disobedience to the Faculty, Frederic disarms him by the touching argument, " I cannot see a beautiful landscape with- out longing to pass on my enjoyment to those I love." And again he urges as his excuse, " I feel a pang when I lie down at night and think that I have done nothing all day ; a scrap of letter looks like something, and keeps up the delusion that I am still capable of stringing a few words together." The manners and customs of Brittany, which have proved such a rich storehouse to poets and legend-mongers, have seldom been more faithfully and delicately depicted than by Ozanam in these rapid wayside notes.
