To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Blind him, O ye gods!O give him not to her, or I shall die!
TURANDOT (_aside, indignantly_).
Can it be possible that _he_ should win?
(_To_ CALAF, _aloud_. ) Listen, poor fool! And solve this riddle now: (_She stands up, and continues in her didactic tone. _) Come, stranger, name those slender pillars twainWhich bear a bristling fortress on their summit, A fort which still is in my sire's domain, Although thy heart burns high to overcome it;Pillars in strength and beauty smooth and rounded, On ...which thy Hope and Faith are firmly founded:These pillars holding Heaven upon their height--Tell me the names, now, of these pillars white.
CALAF.
(_After some meditation, and with the samebow as before. _) These two white pillars soaring to the skies, That bear a kingdom and all Paradise;That bear the magic land my dreams divine, Which are as slender as a forest pine;Of every prince the very noblest aim;Thine empire's fairest ornament and fame, To which my hope clings like a climbing flower--I call these pillars twain: KNOWLEDGE and POWER.
