To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
My sorrow shall be dumb!
—What do I say?
God! God! — God pity me! Am I gone mad That I should spit upon a rosary ?
Am I become so shrunken? Would to God I too might feel that frenzied faith whose touch Makes temporal the most enduring grief; Though it must walk awhile, as is its wont, With wild lamenting! Would I too might weep Where weeps the world and hangs its piteous wreaths For its new dead ! Not Truth, but Faith, it is That keeps the world alive. If all at once 27 Digitized by Microsoft® ...INTERIM Faith were to slacken, — that unconscious faith Which must, I know, yet be the corner-stone Of all believing, — birds now flying fearless Across would drop in terror to the earth ; Fishes would drown; and the all-governing reins Would tangle in the frantic hands of God And the worlds gallop headlong to destruction!
O God, I see it now, and my sick brain Staggers and swoons ! How often over me Flashes this breathlessness of sudden sight In which I see the universe unrolled Before me like a scroll and read thereon Chaos and Doom, where helpless planets whirl Dizzily round and round and round and round.
