It's meant to be. I enjoy the bombast and play with the language; it harks back to when the language was spontaneous, new, and playful, still invventing itself. But that's in my first language, in which I have extensive experience and have read lots of books in different styles, from varying periods of history. I can't even imagine trying something that complex in another tongue; you're very brave! [and a very devoted fan].

If there's something specific you have trouble with, just let me know; what else is a list pedant for? :)
