To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How could I be considered in a posi- tion, even to say a word to them one way or the other? How could I presume to unsettle them, as I was unsettled, when I had no means of bringing them out of such unsettlement?
And, if they were unsettled already, how could I point to them a place of refoge, which I was not sure that I should choose for myself ? My only line, my only duty, was to keep simply to my own case. I recollected Pascal's words, " Jc mourrai seul." I delibercd;ely put out of my though...ts all other works and claims, and said nothing to any one, unless I was obliged.
But this brought upon me a great trouble. In the news- papers there were continual reports about my intentions ; I did not answer them;. presently strangers or friends wrote, begging to be allowed to answer them ; and, if I still kept to my resolution and said nothings then I was thought to be mys- terious, and a prejudice was excited against me. But, what was far worse, there were a number of tender, eager hearts, of whom I knew nothing at all, who were watching me, wish- ing to think as I thought, and to do as I did, if they could but find it out ; who in consequence were distressed, that, in bo solemn a matter, they could not see what was coming, and who heard reports about me this way or that, on a first day and on a second ; and felt the wea]:Lness of waiting, and tlw sickness of delayed hope, and did not understand that I was as perplexed as themselves, and, being of more sensitive com-^ plexion of mind than myself, were made ill by the suspense.
