To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Let me reset here a gem taken from the vast wealth of Shelley's verse, I have spoken of him as a singer, — this was the pre-eminent qualitj^ of his gift. Sometimes the song is an ecstacy ofjoy, and sometimes the unutterable passion of grief; sometimes rhapsodj^ with which our slow minds scarce keep pace. Let me recall this song; we think oftenest of The Cloud and The Skylark and of this, when we think of Shelley, as a singer : My soul is an enchanted boat, Which Hke a sleeping swan doth float U...pon the silver waves of thj' sweet singing; And thine doth like an angel sit Beside a helm conducting it, Whilst all the winds with melody are ringing.
It seems to float ever, forever.
Upon that many winding river, 48 Between mountains, woods, abysses, A paradise of wildernesses !
Till, like one in slunil>er bound, Borne to the ocean, 1 float down around.
Into a sea profound, of ever-spreadinj^ sound.
Contrast the liquid music of that immortal verse with this snarl, of the Third Fury- answering Prometheus' word : "I weigh not what ye do, but what ye suffer, being evil:" We will live through thee, one by one, Like animal life, and though we can obscure not The soul which burns within, that we will dwell Beside it, like a vain loud multitude Vexing the self-content of wisest men ; That v^'e will be dread thought beneath thy brain, And foul desire round thine astonished heart, And blood within thy labj'rinthine veins Crawling like agony.
