To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
we should dismiss him and take another I " MOUNTAINEERS OF THE NEILGHERRIES. 231 However, the majtsty of his office makes a vast sohtude about the God ; his rigorous isolation cannot fail to be painful in the long run. His divinity, being taken quite seriously by every one, puts him outside the pale of humanity. People do not venture to look at him ; they fear to meet him. Non-suited of family joys, foreclosed of all relations with human beings, he is shut up in his majesty as in a cage.
What w...onder that he grows tired of over-strict sublimity, and that, hfted so high, he aspires to descend ? He could beat a retreat if any one were willing to take his place ; but this laborious and absorbing existence is not made for vulgar ambitions. The God who abdicates, resigning with- out over-much regret the empire of the cowshed and its measureless responsibility, lays aside his mantle of office, his ^gis, gloomy as that of Jupiter. He stretches himself, gives himself a shake, and quits the Holy of Holies naked as he came into it ; for the Toda, in his innocent simplicity, does not understand that he to whom the interests of the community are confided has time to look after his own affairs, does not suppose that Providence can realise small profits.
