To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For bread men moan, For soul and body, bread. Twere shame to bring Them but a stone. " I glance down shamefaced-wise. "'Tis true, " I sigh; Then goldenly the sun gilds dome and spire, And then an oriole goes sparkling by, A winged fire, And a fair city of a long dead day Beameth before me, and the gleam of gear, Broad shield, and billowy plume, and bannerel gay, And lissome spear, Leashed hound and hooded hawk, and rare-robed dames, And knights who curb tall steeds ; and to my ear "Sir Launcelo...t ! Sir Galahad!" glorious names The soft winds bear.

And the sound stirs my soul as doth the air A slumbering lyre ; and, come whatever may, Am I lost to the world and all its care For one brief day ; And gathering glory in the tourney field Will I forget my time, and be as one Who weareth mail, and beareth lance and shield Till set of sun, And winneth glance of damosels whose lips, As they would fain be kissed, smile down on him : For thoughts skim silent centuries, as swift ships The oceans skim.
