To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some of his best poetry was rejected by four or five of 172 the chief magazines. In 1874 his great poem, "The City of Dreadful Night, " began to appear piecemeal in The National Reformer and won him new friends. Swinburne, George Eliot and Meredith wrote warmest praise to him, and Bertram Dobell grew really fond of him and helped him later to publish his books. It brought him another friend, Phillip Bourke Marston, who remained, as I have said, faithful to the end. In 1875 he had a sort of disa...greement with Bradlaugh; was crowded out of the paper and the misunderstanding was accentuated, it was said, by Mrs. Besant, and so the friendship of twenty years came to an end. In "The City of Dreadful Night" Thomson has given us a portrait of Bradlaugh speaking as the pessimist-prophet; it is at once a tribute to his affection for the friend and a noble appre- ciation of the reformer's high qualities. The subsequent quarrel never induced Thomson to withdraw or modify any part of his eulogy. * "And then we heard a voice o solemn stress From the dark pulpit, and our gaze there met Two eyes which burned as never eyes burned yet; Two steadfast and intolerable eyes Burning beneath a broad and rugged brow; The head behind it of enormous size.
