To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
stones, with occasional employment on such public work as the frieze of Erechtheum. We have the famous speech of Pericles (Thucyd. ii. 35), when in a common grave at Athens and with much ceremony those were buried who had fallen in war. Not once does he single out any particular act of bravery. He draws no scene of the battle-field. He concentrates every effort on a picture of the general life of the state which had made those men who had fallen the brave men they were, and which they in their ...turn had helped forward. In most of the Greek tombstones we have this same appeal to the imagination and the affections ; rarely, if ever, an appeal to any particular fact or recollection, however much any such fact or recollection might touch the affections alone (compare Fig. 95). As a rule, there is no approach to strong emotion in these reliefs. But there is one class of them in which we find something of that nature. A relief such as we speak of repre- sents a youth standing easily before an old man who regards him attentively.
