To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
OPTICAL ILLUSIONS. THE MIRAGE. Every traveller in the East has described in glowing terms this visual phenomenon, which really "please the eye but vex the heart;" and, while the body is suffering the most dreadful torture of thirst, when crossing the deserts of Egypt, Syria, or Persia, appears like a transparent lake, or flowing river, reflecting on its glassy bosom all surrounding objects. Conceive, if possible, the horror and disappointment, on finding it an optical illusion ! Thus speaks an ...eye witness of this " mockery of woe. " " Conceive an European in those countries, travelling with -' Some great caravan, from well to well, Winding as darkness o'er the desert fell, ' 100 THE MIRAGE. The ground beneath him like unto the hot ashes of a forge, and the air around glowing as the vapour of a furnace. No water of any kind has been seen for days, and the scanty supply of the skins reduced to such a small quantity, as to render what little is left as precious as gold. Every eye is dim, every tongue, swollen, parched and rent, cleaves to the roof of the mouth, and the Arabs begin to talk of killing the very camels for the sake of the water which these provident animals always keep in a large bag the fifth stomach.
