To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
grain of sand also at first was carried onward in a new, narrow channel, which the swollen brook had furrowed out across a meadow, staying now in this bend and now in that for a while. Finally, however, the little branch falls into the main channel once more, and the still im- petuous waters carry all its contents with a sudden splash and splutter into a small Alpine lake. There the little grain of sand sinks at once to the bottom, where it meets a numerous company of other unfortunate grains, ...and seems to be doomed to remain there forever, for what power is likely to take the helpless pebble -from the silent, motionless deep ? The lake has no outlet through which the additions made by avalanches, rain, and snow could be carried off; and yet the marvel is, what becomes of all the vast masses of water by which its little basin is filled to overflowing? For nine or ten months in the year the lake is frozen, and can, therefore, lose nothing by evaporation ; and no river or outlet ever finds its way out of the deep, circular loch in which it is confined.
