To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wonder and doubt come wrongly into play. Preposterously, at cross purposes. Should his child sicken unto death, — why, look For scarce abatement of his cheerfulness, Or pretermission of the daily craft I While a word, gesture, glance from that same child At play or in the school or laid asleep Will startle him to an agony of fear. Exasperation, just as like. Demand The reason why — "'tis but a word," object — "A gesture" — he regards thee as our lord Who lived there in the pyramid alone. Looked... at us (dost thou mind?) when, being young, We both would unadvisedly recite Some charm's beginning, from that book of his. Able to bid the sun throb wide and burst All into stars, as suns grown old are wont. Thou and the child have each a veil alike Thrown o'er your heads, from under which ye both Stretch your blind hands and trifle with a match Over a mine of Greek fire, did ye know ! He holds on firmly to some thread of life— (It is |he life to lead perforcedly) Which runs across some vast distracting orb Of glory on either side that meagre thread.
