To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
CASUAL IMPRESSIONS The day that we arrived in Rome the unclouded sun was yellow on thewhite dust of the streets, which is never laid by a municipalwatering-cart, though sometimes it is sprinkled into mire from thegarden-hose of the abutting hotels; and in my rashness I said that forRome you want sun and you want youth. Yet there followed many gray dayswhen my age found Rome very well indeed, and I would not have theseptuagenarian keep away because he is no longer in the sunny sixties. He may se...e through his glasses some things hidden even from the eyes ofthe early forties. If he drives out beyond the Porta Pia, say, somebright afternoon, and notes how the avenue between the beautiful oldvillas is also bordered by many vacant lots advertised for sale as wellas built up with pleasant new houses, he will be able to carry away withhim the significant fact that a convenient and public-spiritedtrolley-line has the same suburban effect in Rome, Italy, as in Rome, New York. If he meets some squadrons of cavalry or some regiments offoot, in that military necessity of constant movement which the civiliancan never understand, he may make the useful reflection that it is muchbetter to have the troops out of the city than in it, and he can praisethe wisdom of the Italian government accordingly.
