To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, as I stretched a blind, uncertain hand To take the cup of death, I wakened, and dawn trembled, At last, beyond the Eastern hills, And, star by star, night failed ; And eagerly the sun leapt up the sky, And, as his flashing rays Smote kindling towers and flaming gates of brass, Across the reedy moat A clattering drawbridge fell, And wide the glittering portals slowly swung : And there came streaming out in slow procession A sleepy caravan of slouching camels, Groaning and grumbling as they ...strode along Beneath their mountainous burdens, Upon whose swaying summits, Impassively, the blue-robed merchants sat. They passed us slowly by, And then we took the bridge, And, while our captors parleyed with the guards, Who stood, on either hand, With naked swords, I turned my head, And saw for the last time, far Eastward, The cold, snow-brilliant peaks, Beyond my dim, blue, native hills. 27 AKRA THE SLAVE And, as I looked, my thoughts flew homeward, And I, one dreaming moment, Stood by my mourning mother in the cavern Of desolation, looking on the dead.
