To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They come forward in logical order, the simplest first, each later one having a scope and ^consequence beyond its predecessor. To each of them I give a distinctive iiame. The first I call Natural Inj- mortality. Borrowed from nature, it is as petty and unimportant as nature herself. The second, Ideal Immor- , tality, is wider in scope and sugges- tion ; and the third, Spiritual^ Immor- tality, revealed at a moment of an- guish, is precise and personal as the . Others are not. In these three dif...fer- ent conceptions of immortality Shak- spere takes refuge from the batterings SHAKSPERE'S SONNETS 21 of time. I will consider them success- ively. When we say that time engulfs all things and that the loved boy must die, the statement is not altogether true. Though the individual dies, the race survives. The family goes on un- checked by time and may continue from father to son for countless gen- erations. Lime, then, is not alto- gether victorious. Something endures through changing time. He who has a child survives in him.
