To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At even We sailed into the solemn capital Where reigns alone the Monarch of the North.
Awe-struck and dumb with wonder, we were borne Through sinuous channels, where the heaving flood Rolled darkly in the gloom of palaces Hewn out of ice from immemorial years.
The full-orbed moon sheened all the pinnacles With unimaginable splendor, while The twinkling stars engrailed the liquid streets 58 ERIC AND EDITH.
With arrowy shafts of silver. But no sound Of living habitant was heard throughout That ci...ty vast. Mysterious silence, grim, Supernal, hovered there. The distant boom Of the dull surge, the sea-bird's fitful scream, The murmurous dash of runnels dribbling down The icy cliffs and chasms these were not sounds - They were but whispers faintly breathed to him Who slumbers ; we were like to one awake At midnight, listening, with a panting heart, To the weird voice of Silence. Then the wind With spirit sobbings left us, and with sweeps Or grapples closely clasping crystal wharves, We traversed the canals, and neared broad fields Of ice interminable, here and there Thridded by creeks of water dark as lead, Through which our galley glided, compassed round With thickening perils, as the floating slabs Of jagged ice against the iron prow Did harshly grate, or o'er the bulwarks tower.
