To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
WE may not sail, like Christopher Columbus, For half -guessed lands across a chartless sea; Yet in our time we ventured on deep waters, Filled with the self-same restlessness as he From friendly shores in eagerness forth putting. Only content with heaving planks for footing.
We did not launch in some high-castled galleon Or bluff -bowed carvel with a sounding name; And from our poop no silken standard rippled, No gilded scroll- work caught the sunset's flame: No cheering thousands thronged the ...fading shore As we set sail, who might return no more.
We built the craft we sailed, with art ingenious Learned of no shipwright, but of inborn sense, Of one old door, preserved from making firewood, And certain stakes that might have been a fence A branch or two, the top of an old table, All lashed with string more curious than stable.
She had no free-board; even on those reaches, Serene and shining, she was hard to trim; The sun was warm, and we wise navigators Wore the costume least damaged by a swim; Drifting in dreams of coral reefs and billows With the slow stream beneath the leaning wil- lows.
