To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Timid animals, whose will it is to seek their safety in flight instead of contest, present them- selves with light, nimble legs and sharp hearing in lieu of all weapons ; a circumstance which has even necessitated a striking prolongation of the outer ear in the most timid of them all, the hare. The interior corresponds to the exto- rior : carnivorous animals have short intestines ; herbivo- rous animals long ones, suited to a protracted assimilation. Yigorous respiration and rapid circulation o...f the blood« represented by appropriate organs, always accompany great muscular strength and irritability as their necessary conditions, and nowhere is contradiction possible. Each particular striving of the will presents itself in a particular modification of shape. Thd abode of the prey therefore has determined the shape of its pursuer : if that prey takes refuge in regions difficult of access, in remote hiding places, in night or darkness, the pursuer assumes the form best suited to those circumstances, and no shape is rejected as too grotesque by the will to live, in order to attain its ends.
