To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He lived twenty-five years after that self-question at sixty, and aftereighty he continued to prove that threescore was not the limit of a man'sintellectual activity or literary charm. During all that time the workhe did in mere quantity was the work that a man in the prime of lifemight well have been vain of doing, and it was of a quality not lesssurprising. If I asked him with any sort of fair notice I could relyupon him always for something for the January number, and throughout theyear I co...uld count upon him for those occasional pieces in which he soeasily excelled all former writers of occasional verse, and which heliked to keep from the newspapers for the magazine. He had a pride inhis promptness with copy, and you could always trust his promise. Theprinter's toe never galled the author's kibe in his case; he wished tohave an early proof, which he corrected fastidiously, but not overmuch, and he did not keep it long. He had really done all his work in themanuscript, which came print-perfect and beautifully clear from his pen, in that flowing, graceful hand which to the last kept a suggestion of thepleasure he must have had in it.
