To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And then that wayof thrusting his hands into his pockets, and sticking out his legs asfar as he could--what is that like? M. Lamartine is no poet, in myestimation, though he may be an elegant versifier; he has no sublimeideas. Compare his ideas with Shakespeare's--that was indeed a realpoet. .. . M. Lamartine, with his straight body and straight fingers, pointed his toes in my face, and then turned to his dog, and held longconversations with him. He thought to make a great effect when he washer...e, but he was grievously mistaken. ' It may be noted that all LadyHester's male visitors 'pointed their toes in her face, ' in the hopeof being accredited with the arched instep that she held to be themost striking proof of long descent. Her own instep, she wasaccustomed to boast, was so high that a little kitten could rununderneath it.
A far more lifelike and picturesque portrait of Lady Hester than thatby Lamartine has been sketched for us by Kinglake in his_Eothen_. In a charming passage which will be familiar to mostreaders, he relates how the name of Lady Hester Stanhope was asdelightful to his childish ears as that of Robinson Crusoe.
