To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When ex- perience convinced him that the whole was, for this generation at least, unattainable, he re- sumed his work on specific arts, because, to use his own words, he could not help it, & would be miserable if he were not doing it. Nor were those last years the least happy of a full and rich life. They were not many. In 1895 his health began to give way. The completion of the magnificent Kelmscott Chaucer, the love & labour of years, in June 1896, came as a signal for his own go- ing. He die...d that autumn, on the 3rd of Octo- ber, in this house. THE TIMES ARE strange and evil. Round us and within us we may see without much searching all the signs that hitherto have pre- ceded great revolutions in human history. It is just four years since Morris died; but since then a great change has come, not only over that small & struggling Socialist party which drew from him so much of its consistency & vitality, but over the larger currents of public and na- tional life. The end of the century, now close upon us, might well seem to any highly kindled imagination the visible index of some approach- ing end of the world.
