To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
OPHELION 41 Sadly at first I pondered on the past, And sadly rose to meet the coming years, But, when I saw the black ship cut the foam, I felt a wondrous joy to see strange lands, And, sailing onward, questioned them that knew Of each low headland, islet, creek, or strait, Till, the third night, one told me : " With the dawn Thou shalt see Athens. " While the stars crept out Upon the deck I sat, in the cool gloom, And listened to the plashing of the waves About the poop and the low creaking ya...rds, And watched the soft mild outlines, blue on blue, Of the steep hills and headlands — star on star Glanced in the heaving waters, changing still, Until the first white streak dimmed in the east The golden starlight — then came one and said : "Look, Sunium, yonder, and the silver mines!" But what I looked upon with straining eyes 42 OPHELION Filled all my soul. I could but gaze and gaze, Aegina rising as the sky grew redder, Salamis, Athens in a maze of light ! Here, then, I dwelt, for this was truly Athens, But not the Athens I had framed in dreams On summer noons, beneath the glistening vines.
