To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
visible thing, ' pleasant to the eye and desirable to make one wise ', it is perhaps of ancient and high descent, with a heroic history, it comes ' trailing clouds of glory ' : but that it has been phonetically degraded into an unworthy or ugly sound is overlooked. I might give as an example the word Bsdal in the quota- tion from Shelley on p. 22. The original Greek word had a pleasant sound and a rich familiar signification : in English it has no meaning for most men.and is pronounced deedle (...like needle), and if it were so spelt I doubt if any poet would use it. Shakespeare might have made ftin of it in Peter Quince's play, and have set diddle alongside of Phibbus and Ninvy for the use of that immortal actor, bully Bottom. Euphony must also include the purely musical effects of a metre, when this is in delicate agreement with the mood of the poem : it so enhances the emotional effect of a harmonious sequence of words as to overrule common proprieties of order, and the melody will require that the sonorous words shall respect its intention and fall into the positions that it prescribes.
