To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I would not recommend him to try that * philosophic height,' which he thinks so self-indul- gent, unless he has the hardihood to face the keenest winds that blow over all lonely places, whether lonely heights or lonely flats. If he can steel his heart against distrust and suspicion, if he can dare to be pronounced dangerous by the ignorant, hinted at by his brethren in public and warned against in private ; if he can resolve to be struck on every side and not strike again, giving all quarter an...d asking none ; if he can struggle in the dark, with the prayer for light of Ajax on his lips, in silence and alone, — then let him adopt the line which seems so easy, and be fair and generous and chivalrous to all. But if he expects from it, * of course considerable self- applause and great popularity with the multitude,' I can tell him they are not the rewards of that path. Rather let him be content to remain a partisan, and call himself by some name. Then he will be abused by many, but his party will defend him." THE DANGERS OF SOLITUDE.
