To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The long slender bars of cloud float like fishes in the sea of crim- son light. From the earth, as a shore, I look out into that silent sea. I seem to partake its rapid transforma- tion ; the active enchantment reaches my dust, and I dilate and conspire with the morning wind. How does Nature deify us with a few and cheap elements ! Give me health and a day, and I will make the pomp of em- perors ridiculous. The dawn is my Assyria ; the sun- set and moon-rise my Paphos, and unimaginable realms o...f Faerie ; broad noon shall be my England of the senses and the understanding : the night shall be my Germany of mystic philosophy and dreams. — Nature^ Chap. III. NATURE AND THE ORATOR. We know more from Nature than we can at will com- municate. Its light flows into the mind forevermore, and we forget its presence. The poet, the orator, bred in the woods, whose senses have been nourished by their fair and appeasing changes year after year, without de- sign and without heed, shall not lose their lesson alto- gether in the roar of cities or the broil of politics.
