To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Your hand was drooped in languid grace Across the velvet chair, And toyed with knots of foam-like lace. And smoothed the satin's crumpled face With gentle care.
And as your fingers idly moved, And laid a soft caress On folds with changing ripples grooved, You asked me if my taste approved Your Paris dress.
A jesting answer on my tongue, I turned towards the door Which showed the wall with roses hung. The brilliant crowd that swayed and swung, The polished floor.
In the first beams of coming day
... The candle-flames were white ; Beyond the broad, bare windows lay The sky's expanse of pearly grey And silver light.
And through the casement at my side I saw the dusky street, In whose cold depths faint echoes died Of rich, voluptuous notes allied With dancing feet.
40 A PARIS DRESS.
The darkened mass of carriage roofs, The grating of a wheel, Some sleepy coachman's gruff reproofs, The stamping of impatient hoofs, The chink of steel, Made by their contrast deeper grow The silence and the gloom Of that un'ife-like world below, Which served in vivid lines to show Our radiant room.
