To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Where one door shuts, another opens;* this belongs to too many nations to allow of our ascribing it especially to any one. And this Latin, The sun of all days has not yet gone down, \ however, in its primary application, intended for those who are at the top of Fortune s wheel, to warn them that they be not high-minded for there is yet time for many a revolution in that wheel is equally good for those at the bottom, and as it contains warn ing for those, so strength and encouragement for these ...; for, as the Italians say, The world is his who has patience.^. And then, to pass over some of our own, so familiar that they need not be ad duced, how manful a lesson is contained in this Persian proverb: A stone that is Jit for the wall is not left in the way. It is a saying made for them who appear for a while to be overlooked, neglected, passed by; who perceive in themselves capacities, which as yet no one else has recognised or cared to turn to account. Only befit for the wall ; square, * Donde una puerta se cierra, otra se abre.
