To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As I look at these trees about me, I feel that the Greeks were right in thinking that the trees had JJotani^ing from a Country ^orcfj 145 spirits, in visioning a beautiful maiden in the heart of each forest miracle. I look for dryad flutterings, but in vain. I hear faint, elfin chuckles in the woods, but glimpse no fleeing shapes. What pre- ences are round me that I cannot hear or see? The bodiless wind allures me ; the mist lies over the lake, touching the forms of the trees to a fainter, more... shadowy grace, but I cannot tell if it be only mist or the floating of some filmy drapery. A little white butterfly drifts up as if it would tell me what I wish, but it is so shy it flits away again before my dulled senses grasp its thought. The pine trees murmur in another language than my own, and I do not know the meaning of that sweet, prelusory call from the topmost branch of the elm tree beside the driveway. There are times when nature shuts us out from her secrecies however much we long to know.
