To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The era ran its well-known course. We have another picture of it. A little more than twenty years later again, Matthew Arnold, in a volume styled New Poems, included a remarkable and characteristic piece entitled ' Bacchanalia, or The New Age '. May I be allowed to make rather a long quotation from the middle of this poem? ' The epoch ends/ he writes : The epoch ends, the world is still. The age has talk'd and work'd its fill The famous orators have shone, The famous poets sung and gone, The fa...mous men of war have fought, The famous speculators thought, The famous players, sculptors, wrought, The famous painters fill'd their wall, The famous critics judged it all. The combatants are parted now Uphung the spear, unbent the bow. The puissant crown'd, the weak laid low. And o'er the plain, where the dead age Did its now silent warfare wage O'er that wide plain, now wrapt in gloom, Where many a splendour finds its tomb, Many spent fames and fallen mights The one or two immortal lights Rise slowly up into the sky To shine there everlastingly, Like stars over the bounding hill.
