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

Blood, treasure, and thought, fe- verishly he had spent, and out of his very abasement, springing from his humility, and nurtured while he lay prone upon earth, one hand beating his breast, the other timidly fashioning, blos- somed and bloomed the exotic which we call Art* Forth from every portion of the plain ; from each fallen pile, from structures shaken with Time's ague, and from others of more modern mould, the while I 26 watched, came spirits dumbly moving into line* Each bore, in hands, ...on back, or dragged be- hind with ropes, a brick, a stone, a pillar, to a spot where other spirits dumbly set these up, and builded, wide and high, in its thews a bit of every ancient fane, a towering edifice whose rising bastions cleft the mists, to shame the dazzling splendor of our noon- day sun.
Round about this temple wailed the World, and lavished upon its altars blood, and gold, and thought; and daily the World slew itself that the crimson-bannered battle- ments might greet the sun full rich in Man's life-color, thus vaunting 27 its God's debt to Man, for Man's self-sacrifice.
