To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It would be well, however, that this sympathy took a prac- tical turn, especially where genius is concerned ; and I know no more touching instance of this inspiring hopefulness than the letters of his sister Laura to Balzac. She stood by him and en- couraged him, when his parents turned him from the door as a fool, because he gave up the comfortable profession of notary, and took to the dry crusts and rags of literature ; she sympa- thized with all his struggles, rejoiced in all his triumphs; s...he advised him, controlled him, encouraged him ; and she stood by his bedside on that fatal day, August 18, 1850, when, after thirty hours of fearful agony, he died in the city that refused to recog- nize his talents till after death. A lurid, tempestuous, passionate life — misdirected and misapplied ! His biographer told the truth when he said that Paris was a hell, but a hell, the only place worth living in ; and of this he vowed to be a Dante. He suc- ceeded but too well ; and it would have been better for him and the world if he had left the secrets unrevealed.
