To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some were stripling trees when from the shores of Galilee came the message of goodwill to men. Now grown to stately strength they toss their branches high and court with proper modesty the all-searching scrutiny of the sun : or in the stillness of the night turn longing faces to the inquiring, constant stars. Those who know our hills well prize most the hours before sunrise, ere the slanting sun- beams have searched secluded depths. Then the wild flowers wet with dew hold up their heads and off...er crystal stores as tribute to the 45 THE5TRENCTH0F THEHILLS: morn. The air is sweet with the breath of bay and pine and lilac, and every canyon sheds abroad its fragrance. Nor are the evening hours without delight, when the retreating sun is followed by the enfolding night and darkness sweeps from human ken the monuments of day. Who then climbs the hills may look in quiet down upon the lesser constellations far outspread marking the homes of men. Our hills do not hedge us in: they free us, and allure to realms beyond the hori- zon line.
