To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hath he not a conscience of evil, a glimmer of moral sense, Love and hatred, courage and fear, and visible shame and pride ? There may be a future rest for the patient victims of the cruel ; And a season allotted for their bliss, to compensate for unjust suffering. * * * Spurn not at seeming error, but dig below its sur- face for the truth ; And beware of seeming truths, that grow on the roots of error: For comely are the apples that spring from the Dead Sea's cursed shore : But within are they... dust and ashes, and the hand that plucked them shall rue it. * * * There is truth in the wildest scheme that imagin- ative heat hath engendered, And a man may gather somewhat from the crudest theories of fancy. * * * The alchemist laboureth in folly, but catcheth chance gleams of wisdom, And findeth oue many inventions, though his crucible breed not gold. * * * Hints, shrewdly strown, mightily disturb the spirit, Where a barefaced accusation would be too ridic- ulous for calumny: The sly suggestion toucheth nerves, And friendships, the growth of half a century, those oaks that laugh at storms, Have been cankered in a night by a worm.
