To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is a scene much more suitable for reproduc- tion in tapestry than any of the others. Between the twisted pillars, said to have been copied from those brought from Jerusalem to Rome, stand St. Peter and St. John, intent upon their deeds of mercy. Peter is holding the right hand of a fearfully de- formed beggar, while with his other he exorcises 'the evil spirit. The strain in Peter's own hand is evident, and in the uplifted face of the beggar shines his consciousness of the beginning of the c...ure. On the other side, looking down with compassion, is John, and beyond, between two pillars, another crip- pled beggar leans on his staff, gazing with neck far forward, skepticism and hope struggling in his ugly face. At the extreme sides of the picture, charming young Roman mothers with their babies are passing along, while a sturdy sprite of a naked boy at one end gives vivacity to the whole. 228 ftbe Hrt of tbe IDatfcan The Death of Ananias, next in the series, is built somewhat upon the lines of the School of Athens.
