To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To love her for her regard to me, is not to love her, butmyself. She has robbed me of herself: shall she also rob me of my loveof her? Did I not live on her smile? Is it less sweet because it iswithdrawn from me? Did I not adore her every grace? Does she bend lessenchantingly, because she has turned from me to another? Is my lovethen in the power of fortune, or of her caprice? No, I will have itlasting as it is pure; and I will make a Goddess of her, and build atemple to her in my heart, and wo...rship her on indestructible altars, andraise statues to her: and my homage shall be unblemished as herunrivalled symmetry of form; and when that fails, the memory of it shallsurvive; and my bosom shall be proof to scorn, as hers has been to pity;and I will pursue her with an unrelenting love, and sue to be her slave, and tend her steps without notice and without reward; and serve herliving, and mourn for her when dead. And thus my love will have shewnitself superior to her hate; and I shall triumph and then die.
