To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I joined it just as, the customary opening prayer being ended, the orator was beginning his tale. He was a man of about fifty, almost black, with a jetty beard and great shining eyes, enveloped like all the Morocco story- tellers in a large white cloth bound about the head with a strip of camel's hair, which lent him something of the dignity of a priest of ancient times. Standing erect in the middle of his circle of auditors, he held forth slowly and in high-pitched tones, to the accom- panimen...t of a drum and an oboe. He may have been recounting some tale of love, or the adventures of a celebrated bandit, or the vicissitudes of a sultan's career. I could not understand a single word, but his gestures were so expressive, his voice so sympa- thetic, his face so speaking, that from time to time I was able to catch a ray of meaning. He seemed to be describing a long journey ; he imitated the gait of TANGIER. 65 the weary horse, pointed to the measureless stretch of horizon, searched for any sign of water, let his head and hands droop like those of a man utterly spent ; then all at once, descrying some object far off in the distance, he seemed at first to hesitate, now doubting, now believing the evidence of his eyes, until plucking up courage he pushed forward, and finally returning thanks to Allah, and laughing aloud for joy, sank down with a great sigh of relief in the shade of a delicious oasis which he had abandoned all hope of reaching.
