To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


I dragged myself trembling to the window of the cottage and looked out. The moon was glittering across the bay and there was no sound anywhere onthe island. ' XIII In all drama which would give direct expression to reverie, to the speechof the soul with itself, there is some device that checks the rapidity ofdialogue. When Oedipus speaks out of the most vehement passions, he isconscious of the presence of the chorus, men before whom he must keep upappearances 'children latest born of Cadmus' li
...ne' who do not share hispassion. Nobody is hurried or breathless. We listen to reports anddiscuss them, taking part as it were in a council of state. Nothinghappens before our eyes. The dignity of Greek drama, and in a lesserdegree of that of Corneille and Racine depends, as contrasted with thetroubled life of Shakespearean drama, on an almost even speed ofdialogue, and on a so continuous exclusion of the animation of commonlife, that thought remains lofty and language rich. Shakespeare, uponwhose stage everything may happen, even the blinding of Gloster, and whohas no formal check except what is implied in the slow, elaboratestructure of blank verse, obtains time for reverie by an oftenencumbering Euphuism, and by such a loosening of his plot as will givehis characters the leisure to look at life from without.
