To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'Mid fair groves of Asphodel We shall sport — here, frail beginners, There, fond wooers, faithful winners. i34 IN THE SCENES OF YOUTH* 'pHEY are not what they were, the haunts Of long ago that I survey, Tho' wrecking Time here hardly vaunts A triumph of decay. Yet all that made them homes of bliss The more I look, the more I miss : The loss of what I cannot name Has left them dreary, cold, and tame. A glow has gone that robed the sea In glory and lit up the shore ; A spell that lent Divinity To... Earth is now no more. Behold the gem whose facets dance And fire beneath the sunbeam's glance ; The painted canvas, grey and cold, A master hand has tinged with gold; The stone whereout a sculptor hews And carves an all but breathing face ; The verse, where Genius can infuse Poetic worth and grace ! They owe their glory to a light, Or if you will a magic might, Akin to that which lent me joy, When here I wandered as a boy. * From ' Poems of Life and Death, ' p. 68. 135 OLD POEMS ' Fwas half in me, a flame Divine That seemed to kindle everything, And everyone — that then was mine, But now has taken wing : And half from others — those with power To share with me that heavenly dower The while within their hearts it shone ; Now they are vanished, it is gone.
