To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No film of passion, no glittering mist of outward advantages, has arisen between the sight and 126 LETTERS, ETC.
the object : I had no other prepossession than the esteem which my knowledge of your sentiments and conduct could not but secure for you. I soon learnt to esteem you ; and in esteeming, became attached to you. I began by loving the man on account of his conduct, but I ended in valuing the actions chiefly as so many looks and attitudes of the same person. " Hast thou any thing ? Share... it with me, and I will pay thee an equivalent.
Art thou any thing ? then we will exchange souls." We can none of us, not the wisest of us, brood over any source of affliction inwardly, keeping it back, and as it were pressing it in on ourselves ; but we must magnify it. We cannot see it clearly, much less distinctly ; and as the object enlarges beyond its real proportions, so it becomes vivid ; and the feelings that blend with it assume a proportionate undue intensity. So the one acts on the other, and what at first was effect, in its turn becomes a cause ; and when at length we have taken heart, and given the whole thing, with all its several parts, the proper distance from our mind's eye, by confiding it to a true friend, we are ourselves surprised to find what a dwarf the giant shrinks into, as soon as it steps out of the mist into clear sunlight.
