To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Before you, day and night, I feed a flame Of such love with the purest oil of God, Offering worthy my love's gracious nod Of recognition, lore without a shame.
And then, because I am a man alas !
I know not whether I should joy or greet I love you for your body's painful sweet With all that brutal passion. In the grass I hide my face forgive me if you can, I love you with the mad love of a man.
59 XVI And have I spun this beauty out of me, From my soul's substance quarried marble pure To chisel... such a Venus forth? " Be sure, From that rich store-house where the lock and key Secure your heaped ideals, you project That pictured fancy, prisoned in a beam, Upon this girl ; the light cut off, she'd seem A very common mortal, I suspect. " 44 A very common mortal " blasphemy ! Not for her dower of beauty, let it be Greater or less, but that my eyes have seen Into her inmost soul God's lightnings shine, I love her. For whate'er she may have been, Then she was made, not beautiful, but mine !
60 XVII Are you not mine ?
