To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For while they were all assembled in the chapel on this occasion, and chanting in the choir with devotion and enjoyment, — a number of cardinals also being present at the service, — one of the monks began to utter blasphemies, and to cry aloud, " Confess that I am the Christ ! " A profound sensa- tion ran through all the community, only subdued by the tact and presence of mind of Bernard, who, turning towards the community, said, '' Let us pray. '* Having thus brought back under control the gen...eral body of brethren, which, under the influence of the sudden shock, had got "out of hand" for a moment, those who were most excited were one by one led out of chapel, and brought back to calmness. The con- temporary chronicler attributes so alarming an occurrence to the direct temptation of the devil ; — we may perhaps be permitted to conjecture that the overstrained nerves of men, wrought into a highly artificial state by strong spiritual pressure and insufficient bodily nourishment, may have had some- thing to do with the matter, — and it is likely that such scenes were not altogether unfrequent in the severer monasteries.
