To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Each star of the other pole night now beheld, And ours so low, that from the ocean floor It rose not. Five times re-illumed, as oft Vanished the light from underneath the moon, Since the deep way we entered, when from far Appeared a mountain dim, loftiest methought Of all I e'er beheld. Joy seized us straight ; But soon to mourning changed. From the new land A whirlwind sprung, and at her foremost side Did strike the vessel. Thrice it whirled her round With all the waves ; the fourth time lifte...d up The poop, and sank the prow : so fate decreed : And over us the booming billow closed. " Inferno, xxvi. (Cary's transl. ) Thus also Mr Tennyson drawing from Dante not less happily than he so often does from Homer makes his Ulysses resign the idle sceptre into the hands of the home-keeping Telemachus, and tempt the seas once more in quest of new adventures : u There lies the port : the vessel puffs her sail : There gloom the dark broad seas. My mariners, Souls that have toiled, and wrought, and thought with me, That ever with a frolic welcome took The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed * The metaphor is Homer's, Odyss.
