To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here is a green promontory jutting out into the blue, just large enough to hold the little fruitful garden patch, the little white-washed cottage, and the white shaft of the pharos of the happy and enviable lighthouse keeper. Here is a blue inlet which, cutting far into the mainland, vividly brings back the **Last Valley" at Newport, whether in its actual as- pect or in Mr. La'Farge's reproduction of its effect. In truth, the impression of this coast is that of Newport, of a So ®ut Mest himdred... miles of a magnified but not distorted Newport, the only stretch of the Atlantic seaboard which can for a moment be compared with it. The impression is the same impression of suavity and ** elegance " and gracious- ness. There is nothing forbidding about these roimded hills ; contrariwise something neighborly and sociable and inviting. One might still liken them, as I likened those terrible lands of Wyoming, to elephants, but now to re- cumbent green elephants, facing you; roimded, even ** quilted" elephants, fac- ing you, aligned in order, ** elephants a-grazing," and stretching out their proboscides downward to the train and the shore as if in quest of the votive peanut, the illusion being assisted by the casual cow or sheep, grazing in a nostril or an eye, and in scale with the flea xap tbe Coast Sx which woiild be likely to infest the actual animal.
