To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
LXIV THE SLEEPER [156] HE sleeps with her hair all fallen down about her, her hands clasped together behind her neck. Does she dream ? Her mouth is open, and she breathes softly.
With a piece of swansdown I wipe away the sweat of her arms and the fever of her lips, without awaken- ing her. Her closed eyelids are like two blue flowers.
Gently and silently I will rise. I will go and draw the water, and milk the cow, and beg some fire of the neighbors. My hair shall be done, and I shall be dressed... when she shall open her eyes.
Sleep, lie long between her beautiful curved eyelashes, and prolong the happy night with a dream of good fortune.
[157] LXV THE KISS [158] ^ai=S*5SH WOULD kiss the whole length of "JrOj "^5 the rich black locks that grace thy ^0>^ neck like wings ; oh ! sweet bird, oh !
rvVH captured dove, whose passion - filled ■^SiJ heart beats under my hand.
I would take thy lips between mine own, as a babe takes the breast of its mother. Tremble ! — Thrill ! Sweet one, — my kisses reach far, and should satisfy thy love.
