To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In France the few windmills that still exist look like colossal wounded birds beat- ing the ground sadly with their wings. They no longer enjoy the confidence of opulent and influ- ential millers, and the com that they grind can only be a dark-colored inferior grain, destined to be eaten by the poor and the unfortunate. Their glory has departed; they are no longer triumph- ant, as they were when tiiey first arrived with the Crusaders— at least, so says the legend — from the East, the country of... all inventions ; but still they seem to have something human about them, all fallen into dishonor as they are. A windmill al- ways has its individuality and its peculiar aspect. ' See how constantly the Dutch painters make one of them to animate their landscapes. In the im- mense battle-pieces of Van der Meulen these wooden-winged giants seem to smile at those heroic combats, as it were at the struggles of pig- mies ; in RuysdaePs sunny solitudes the windmill often appears; and Hobbema places fts eccen- tric contour in the golden dust of his woodland roads.
