To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A truant vine Grows out of him at either end Like muscles through the trunk and spine For wine was Stavro’s closest friend.
Up through the barrel of the chest To scatter on his polished dome A vine-leaf from the poet’s crown.
The pint-pot was his only home.
Out of this confusing paste The best of us are only made, Sleep and sloth and wine were his Who drank and drank and never paid.
Beauty vomit truth and waste Somehow joined to give him grace Who clasped the sky’s blue demijohn ...Drunk, in a drowning man’s embrace.
Silenus of these olive-groves He broached a wine-dark universe And tasted on the crater’s brim Mother lover hearth and nurse.
The vulgar grape his earthly task: Wine was a cradle, muse and guide, Till body like some leather flask Matured a laughing sun inside.
His bounty was life’s usufruct: Such lips to lay at nature’s breast With earth below and sky above, Till tapsters lay us all to rest.
