To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They fly with leaden pinions and gaunt uneasy flight, Sweeping in sad procession across the ways of light : Their gloomy shapes, as shadows, brood on the wingless airs ; My heart that mourns thine absence the heavy silence shares. I dare not speak within me the only words I know, That I have lost thy presence I who have loved thee so. I cannot meet the silence that shrouds thine empty place ; But on this hill of weeping I watch the hard sky's face. 28 THE RECORD 20 DEAREST, I scarce have heart ...to love tliee more : Long love without requital only breeds In the heart's rich meadow-land such poisonous weeds As choke the sweet growth that sprang there before. I have no salve to heal my spirit sore, No stored-up joy whereon the full heart feeds ; The future brings no hope of worthier deeds, No grandeur can the buried past restore, Only weak words shall ease my long regret ; For, though I scorn them, these shall serve me still With fond imaginations that beget False pleasures to beguile mine eager will, That I my spirit's craving may fulfil With art's void dreams upon a phantom set.
