To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With wild, fanatic air, In Death's-head helmet and greaves worn with prayer, He sets the unwilling world in myriad strife To orphan Europe, plowing hill and mead For Famine's harvest of the iron seed; From that blue sea that knows no shore On fair, defenseless towns lets slip The havoc of his pirate ship ; And, drowning conscience with the cannon's roar, Holds his frank perfidy As part of a divine decree, While with a holy rage He wars upon his Age, Till the pure Alps ensanguine every sea ; Now..., with a rusted key unlocks The evils of Pandora's box ; 21 22 THE COST Stills the world's music, stays its daily joys; Makes murderers of boys Who yesterday made mimic murder at their toys ; Turns brotherhood to hate, And floors the heavens with carnage that would sate All devils but a devil incarnate !
Greater than Bonaparte? Yes, by a century's cost Of lives devoured, of fireside loving lost.
O country mine !
Who shall seduce thee to such mad design? A nobler vision, happier fate be thine !
