To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Out, Iras, hasten!
Thou, Death, at best art but A cold deceiver, insolent proud thief, vexing, Hewing about the silent urn of Time.
O Antony, thou sifting dust, thou dear relic Of my eternal love! thou criest against Oblivion, while I still live and feel, Hearing thy voice, strange, sweet, and pas- sionate.
But if I die and am no more, where then Those visions, loves, these dreams and our desires?
Each, all so well beloved — but shall they be?
54 Octavia and New Poems To live to suffer — 'tis a... law unjust And should be written on the obelisks : Yet better this than worse by such advice Which whispers in grim fires and cataracts Of doubt, dooming therein each resolution That doth spring up beneath this mortal veil.
Thus sitting, thus consulting, sport and prey, Owned by none, belonging to myself, I'm trampled in the wiles of misery.
They say that Death and Life are mingled wine: Such intertwined confusion is in me Flashing its banded colours in the sun.
O foolish Life! 'Tis time to quaff thy dregs.
