To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I feel its hot anger stinging my face, Its steamy spirit-arms reaching out to clutch me, And hurl me into the cesspools Of the low places of the earth ! The trains of day, The cars of everyday, Are all untrue. The Passenger Train The train of day, The passenger train, Rolls into the station. The letter of its onward law is broken. The glory of its speed is dying; Its choked breath Shrills away in a swan's song. Its business begins. The people alight from the porches Of their brief, wheeled home.... Some must leave their home town, And ascend the steps to a home 225 THE WOOING OF Forever on wheels, Forever transitory. The crowd must gape, Rude, cruel, unmoved ; The folks must watch, And long For him who missed his train of day, For her who did not come. All kinds of passengers are swung out By the black-faced porter, And alight from this train of day: She of the embattled colors, — He, the white-washed sepulcher; She, the shirt-waisted saleslady; lie, the groomed, ponderous salesman; She, the capable mother and housewife; lie, the fit head of a family; Tiny she with lacy dress Like a folded, drooping lily; And mite like Baby Who, Flower-heart, Still huddled in motherly petals of infant's clothes.
