To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What deeds of might can stay the common doom Of all the pride and glory of the world ? Behold the fallen fortunes of our Troy. Even as Penthesilea when she came White-browed and queenly to the fatal field, Was our loved city fair and beautiful; And in the unequal combat she will fall As fell this maid; her altars will be stripped, Her temples overthrown, her stately halls Despoiled and ruined; and the household gods Homeless amid their broken images. Oh I mother, if thy voice is ever heard THE ...AMAZONS. 51 Among the counsels of the wiser gods, Lift it to save the city of thy son.
If we should wander forth from this our home, What other land would have such fruitful fields, Such sparkling rivers and such sunny skies ?
Though all the beauty of the world were found In some enchanted garden where the gods Came down from heaven to breathe the fragrant air, Where color, scent, and music all combined Their several witcheries to charm the sense; Yet were it not so sweet and dear as home.
Methinks if I were lifted to the heights And set to banquet with the deathless gods, Forbidden evermore to cast my eyes Earthward upon the city that I love, The nectar and ambrosia could not quench The thirst and hunger of the human heart For the familiar and remembered scenes.
