To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And yet the fate of all extremes is such, Men may be read as well as books, too much. To observations which ourselves we make, "We grow more partial for the observer's sake ; To written wisdom, as another's, less: Maxims are drawn from notions, those from ^uess. There's some peculiar in each leaf and grain, Some unmarked fibre, or some varying vein-. Shall only man be taken in the gross ? Grant but as many sorts of mind as moss. That each from other differs, first confess; Next, that he varies ...from himself no less: Add nature's, custom's, reason's, passion's strife, And all opinion's colours cast on life. Our depths, who fathoms, or our shallows finds, Quick whirls, and shifting eddies, of our minds ? On human actions reason though you can, It may be reason, but it is not man: His principle of action once explore, That instant 'tis his principle no more. Like following life through creatures you dissect, You lose it in the moment you detect. Yet more; the diff'rence is as great between The optics seeing, as the object seen.
