What reading level is A Souvenir of Robert Burns book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To the untimely death of Highland Mary, we owe one of the sweetest poems ever written in any language ; that to " Mary in Heaven." What can be more beautiful or pathetic than the first stanza ?
"Thou ling'ring star, with less'ning ray, That lov'st to greet the early morn.
Again' thou usherest in the day My Mary from my soul was torn.
O Mary ! dear departed shade !
Where is thy place of blissful rest ?
See'st thou thy lover lowly laid ?
Hear'st thou the groans that rend his breast?" I am well aw...are that more recent investigations of Mr.
Scott Douglass and of Dr. Chambers, prove too clearh' that at the very time he was writing his broken-hearted "Lament" over Jean Armour's desertion of him at the com- mand of her father, occurred this sad episode of Marv Campbell.
M>- object is neither to excuse nor to condemn ; I am not writing his biography, but simply describing objects and places I have seen connected with the poet, and the im- pressions they made on me. But where, let me ask, in the annals of literary history, is there the man for' whose suffer- ings we have so much sympathy, and for whose genius a greater regard than we have for the genius and the suffer- ings of Robert Burns ?
