To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are so desirous to be well (for what isretirement without health?) that we are ever fancying ourselves ill;and, like the man in the 'Spectator, ' we weigh ourselves daily, and livebut by grains and scruples. Retirement is happy only for the poet, forto him it is _not_ retirement. He secedes from one world but to gainanother, and he finds not _ennui_ in seclusion: why? Not becauseseclusion hath _repose_, but because it hath _occupation_. In one word, then, I say of action and of indolence, gr...ant the same ills to both, andto action there is the readier escape or the nobler consolation. " Vane shrugged his shoulders. "Ah, my dear friend, " said he, tapping hissnuff-box with benevolent superiority, "you are much younger than I am!" But these conversations, which Trevylyan and Vane often heldtogether, dull as I fear this specimen must seem to the reader, had aninexpressible charm for Gertrude. She loved the lofty and generous veinof philosophy which Trevylyan embraced, and which, while it suited hisardent nature, contrasted a demeanour commonly hard and cold to allbut herself.
