To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All this is lovely indeed till the broom explodes into flames of chrome-yellow, but after that what becomes of such a thing as a pansy ? You may take it up, of course, and satisfy yourself by minute inspection that it is a beautiful flower of pale parchment-yellow, with a bold touch of cadmium on the lower lip of the corolla, and seven effective little black streaks, but the moment you look at it on the ground you can see nothing but grey. The other place is the edge of an abandoned quarry, whe...re the red earth is as hot in the sunshine as it can be ; and as you look up at it from below the edge is brought against the intensest azure of the sky. Just along this edge grow twenty or thirty magnificent plants of broom, and between the azure of the sky and the fiery red of the sun-lighted earth below they hold their own effectively enough with their blaze of yellow, but are unable to extinguish either the azure or the red. It is just one of those tournaments of natural colours that the English painters seem born to enjoy, and the French to run away from — a spectacle to delight the strong natural sense in its naiveti, but not either the tender or the educated sense.
