I never said it was easy to read. I can say I read it 3 times already and I am still among the living. There are three books on my desk ( Keats letters and Poems) this one and Kant's metaphysics. I have much Keats committed to memory and will read Kant and Joyce from beginning to end once yearly to the end of my days to remind me that most of the world will never gets beyond the first chapter of either of them.
