To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But cats to me are strange, so strange I cannot sleep if one is near; And though I'm sure I see those eyes, I'm not so sure a body's there !
Today I HAVE no hopes, I have no fears, Whether my dreams are gossamers To last beyond my body's day, Or cobwebs to be brushed away. Give me this life from hour to hour, From day to day, and year to year ; This cottage with one extra room To lodge a friend if he should come ; This garden green and small, where I Can sit and see a great big sky. And give me... one tall shady tree, Where, looking through the boughs, I'll see How the sharp leaves can cut the skies Into a thousand small blue eyes.
8 How Kind is Sleep HOW kind is sleep, how merciful : That I last night have seen The happy birds with bosoms pressed Against the leaves so green.
Sweet sleep, that made my mind forget My love had gone away; And nevermore I'd touch her soft Warm body, night or day.
So, every night deceived by sleep, Let me on roses lie; And leave the thorns of Truth for day, To pierce me till I die.

Thou that in fury with thy knotted tail hast made this iron floor thy beaten drum that now in silence walk’st thy little space like a sea captain-careless what May come what power has brought thy majesty to this who gave those eyes their dull and sleepy look who took their glittering out,and from thy throat the thunder when the whole wide forest thy throatWrite Review:
