To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Torquato's cradle.
And Maro's resting-place ; amid such words.
How hard in verse to say, Earewell, New York ' So sink the hills of Neversink behind them, And the New World is but a thing to talk of: And life no longer is a stated task To be encountered and performed for wages ; But the free kisses of the laughing ocean Seem to invite the madly-bounding prow To leap and dance on the deep's foamy floor.
To the glad tunes of the resounding billows.
The mariners, 't would seem, were following simnl...y Their inclination rather than their calling ; The chains of Drudgery seemed to drop away, And life's main duty, merely life and motion.
Careless existence ! how the occupations, Troubles and fretful interests of the shore, With the shore vanish ! Earth is only earthly To the dull souls that burrow on the land.
Such was their ecstasy at first, but soon The rapture lessened, and with every sun 74 The strand they sailed from dearer grew and fairer.
And that whereto each billow brought them nearer Lost the fine surface of the bright romance Whose brilliancy is born of distance only ; So to the greedy Spaniards in Pern The rocks of lime on Illiassa's height, Beheld afar, seemed hills of purest silver ; And the brown husks which roofed the Indian huts Solid and beaten plates of yirgin gold ; Nay, this dim ball, this murky lump, this earth.
