To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But new reapers will arise, and they too will seek afield. It is to deny what the history of the world tells us is true, tosuppose that men of ambition and talents will not continue to springup amongst us. And when they do, they will as naturally seek thegratification of their ruling passion as others have done before them. The question then is, Can that gratification be found in supportingand in maintaining an edifice that has been erected by others? Mostcertainly it cannot. Many great and goo...d men, sufficiently qualified forany task they should undertake, may ever be found whose ambition wouldaspire to nothing beyond a seat in Congress, a Gubernatorial or aPresidential chair; but such belong not to the family of the lion, orthe tribe of the eagle. What! think you these places would satisfy anAlexander, a Caesar, or a Napoleon? Never! Towering genius disdainsa beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored. It sees nodistinction in adding story to story upon the monuments of fame erectedto the memory of others.
