To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here are a few powerful lines : — Alas ! for this gray shadow, once a man — So glorious in his heauty and thy choice, Who madest him thy chosen, that he seem'd To his great heart none other than a God ! I ask'd thee, ** Give me immortaliiy." Then didst thou grant mine asking with a smile. Like wealthy men who care not how they give. But thy strong Hours indignant work'd their wiUs, And beat me down and marr'd and wasted me, And tho' they could not end me, left me maim'd To dwell in presence of ...immortal youth. Immortal age beside immortal youth, And all I was, in ashes. . . . . Let me go : take back thy gift : Why should a man desire in any way To vary from the kindly race of men. Or pass beyond the goal of ordinance Where all should pause, as is most meet for all ? Tithontis, stupid fellow, might have discovered, had he only thought, that in the granting of his wish a law was violated which would inevitably avenge itself upon him slowly and sorely. Had he but honestly reflected for a Uttle he would have seen that all his enjoyment while under the empty delusion was in direct opposition to nature ; and that, simply because he had consciously made himself an exception to the wide human experience.
