To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Vale of Val-Mairane, road to the Baux, never again o'er hill or plaindid ye see Margaï. Her mother prays and weeps, and will not have enoughof speaking of her lovely shepherdess. " This weird, legendary tale was composed in 1848. The next effort of thepoet is one of his masterpieces, wherein his inspiration is truest andmost poetical. _La Fin dóu Meissounié_ (The Reaper's Death) is a noble, genuinely pathetic tale, told in beautifully varied verse, full of thelove of field work, and aglow with... sympathy for the toilers. The figureof the old man, stricken down suddenly by an accidental blow from thescythe of a young man mowing behind him, as he lies dying on the roughground, urging the gleaners to go on and not mind him, praying to SaintJohn, --the patron of the harvesters, --is one not to be forgotten. Thedescription of the mowing, the long line of toilers with their scythes, the fierce sun making their blood boil, the sheaves falling by hundreds, the ruddy grain waving in the breath of the mistral, the old chiefleading the band, "the strong affection that urged the men on to cutdown the harvest, "--all is vividly pictured, and foretells the futurepoet of _Mirèio_.
