To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sea was fiercely howling then on bleak tempes tuous strand, And fierce the thund ring fires smote and shook the shattered shore, But not an ear was there to hear, and not a heart to quail !
The rocks have locked the mystery of earth s re motest time, Amid their silent fastnesses securely stored away;^ But O the prying hand of man, and O the prying brain !
With infinite preparings, in the darkness of the deep, Another age was dawning with the mystery of life, With the seeds of all eternity, ...the germs of all to be, Lying lifeless in the ocean with its latent life sublime, Lying silent, with a patience God alone can under stand, 22 THE PROMISE OF THE AGES.
With His watching and His waiting for the crowning form of man. In the silent seas Silurian the frame of man was planned, While feeble groping creatures swarmed amid the troubled deep, And myriads of mollusks crowded all the crumbling shores, Crowded all the shores that shuddered in the silent lapse of time.
And now the rocks are telling me their tale Devonian, Of mighty fish in armor clad, that throng d the throbbing tide, All silent now in endless sleep of stony death sublime; For fate has swept the sounding sea with carnage near and far, And death was weeding all the waste in times Devonian.
