To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But Dante was aware of a deeper and subtler sin, the sin of pride. Of this sin, Satan, "king over all the children of pride" (Job xli, 34), is the great symbol. In the days before the war, old tradi- tional notions of chivalry, of gentility, of what were called birth and honor, prevented most men from understanding the true nature of pride; the phrase "proper pride" was jvidged an acceptable excuse for many an act of unchristian conduct. The Church had accomplished little or nothing by classify...ing pride as one of the seven deadly sins. But now that we see how pride of dynasty, pride of caste, pride of race, pride of accomplishment, pride of power, have bCi DANTE ^v^ought a world of woe, we understand better the nature of pride, that it is indeed a deadly sin.
Coleridge says of it: "In its utmost abstraction and consequent state of reprobation, the Will be- comes Satanic pride and rebellious self-idolatry in the relations of the spirit to itself, and remorseless despotism relatively to others; the more hopeless as the more obdurate by its subjugation of sensual impulses, b}^ its superiority to toil and pain and pleasure: in short, by the fearful resolve to find in itself al«ne the one absolute motive of action, under which all other motives from within and from without must be either subordinated or crushed.
