To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is shed from spheres where grow the poison flowers Oivrrong andjpai/i, that rankly bloom in ours !
Is there a sadness in their tranquil rays ? — A sorrow mingled in their song of praise ? — That song which gladdened o'er our Eden birth ?
Let Wijfall answer wJierefore^ recreant Earth !
Such sorrow thrilled the angelic ranks afar When fell from Heaven of old the Morning Star!
Such well may fill the neighboring spheres with pain.
To see our world go following in his train !
With folded hands, and ...moumfiil pinions crossed.
So weep the Pleiads for their sister lost.

Onward forever, through the darkness hurled, With all its medley burden, swings the world — Reels its great cycles, without thought or will, Pierced to the center with the whirling thrill : While Man, confused, stares up with dizzy sight, And stumbles on through error toward the right : His restless nature, urging like a goad, Drives him afar, but dimly points the road — The scanty lantern of his gathered lore Shines round his feet, but darkens all before.
