To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Through the drifting dust and dull smoke you see him lifted off his legs backwards and thrown to the ground across his rider. You notice that a hind leg kicks feebly once, twice and is still. The man's head and shoulders are towards you. His left hand neighbour digs in the spurs, gallops suddenly to where the lifeless heap of man and horse lies in the grass beside a great new hole, and dismounts and bends over the stricken pair. Suddenly his hand goes up, and he seems to have THE BATTLE 113 cal...led, for another man races to the spot. Together they drag, and pull, and shove and, ere you are past, one of them is supporting a reeling, drunken, limp- legged figure who is, mirabile dictu, yet alive though he himself does not seem quite certain of the fact. He staggers back on foot, his comrades' arms about his shoulders, and sits down on the ground with his dazed head in his hands. The fear of God is in your heart, but still you ride slowly forward. From somewhere in the second line of rocks a new note reaches you.
