To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Too glad to pose, ofttimes he held his peace Before the jest that sought his heart; but let The whim appeal, and all his mind took fire I The shifted diamond's instant shock of light.
81 A CHARACTER Beauty to him (as wine's ecstatic draught, Richer than blood, and every drop a dream) Was like a wind some hidden world put forth To baffle, madden, lure at times, betray, Then win him back to worship with a breath Of Edens never trodden. Yet he stood No dupe to Nature in her harlotry, Her guile, he...r blind injustice and the abrupt Ferocities of chance, but swift to face The unkempt fact, and swift no less to snatch Its honey from illusion's stinging hive No moth that beat upon Time's enginery. Yet loved he Nature well, as one might love A half-tamed leopardess, for beauty's grace Alone. Within his enigmatic soul Sorrow and Art made Love their servitor, For he would have no master but himself. To what best liken him*? Some singer must Have used the star-souled geode's rind and heart, 82 A CHARACTER Telling of such as he.
