To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yes, this is nearest death.
Why should I falter here ? We both are old.
Soon in the common way our steps would part.
And to be young ; to feel the sinews supple, Eye, ear, and motion quick, the brain all life, — The visions of my manhood round me whirl, White limbs, red lips, and love's delirious dream, The passion kiss of wine, the idle hours Unmissed from youth's abounding heritage.
Off, off, ye brutal years that gnaw our age !
Come, joy ! come, life ! — life at the full of flood !
What wonde...r that my head swims dizzily ?
\Pauses.
Birth is not ours. We are, and that is all.
Death is not ours. We die, and that is all.
This stranger birth that waits my trembling grasp, — Ay, this is mine alone. The herd of men Are born and die. ITakes the hour-glass.
This none can share with me.
The silent planets shine upon the hour.
Swift waste the sands. So much of age is left.
THE CUP OF YOUTH. 33 Uncounted memories of things long lost Leap to my view, as if to one who stands Beside the waif-thronged surges of the deep, And sees its dead roll passive to his feet.
