To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" and so on. I was, in short, describing the view I have just been trying to recapture. And, as far as I can remember, the poem ended : FELICITE 211 " Like a cloud shell-pink, like the car of a girl. Like Venice glass mirroring mother-of-pearl ; " and then, after a line so literary that my pen blushes to set it down : " Where the skies drink the sea and the last light lies and lingers. There is France. " My friend read the poem with an air of scrupulous and demanded attention, came to the end o...f it, and paused in a quite painful embarrassment. Then he said that he didn't see the point of it. He couldn't understand [a] why the lines should be so irregular, and (b) why one should exhibit so much emotion merely because one was seeing France. I wonder whether to-day he understands. At any rate, to me the sight of France always pro- duces a state of intense emotion — always has and always will. I remember when I was a quite small boy at school at Folkestone there were tremendous red sunsets, connected with the eruption of Krakatoa, I think.
