What reading level is An Olio of Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With Shakespeare, Sophocles, ere this.
He walks Elysian Fields of bliss, Heart ope to heart.
Yes, artists die, but art will live As long as beauty bides ; And beauty is of God a part ; It cannot die. O world, take heart Whate'er betides !
THE RASH MILLER.
As light as the breath of a zephyr, Its wings of an air- woven gauze ; Within it the spirit of summer, Its joy recks not limits nor laws.
Its life like the life of a moment— The now that when spoken is past ; Or like a weird note that enchants... us, Its charm too evasive to last.
The lamp-light to death lures it onward ; One moment it joys in the blaze ; The next a singed corpse it has fallen, And I on its foolishness gaze.
But we mortals— have we deeper wisdom.
Who wing life's brief day in the glare Of ambitions that charm but to blight us ?
The miller would murmur— Beware !
33 1 TWILIGHT IN JEFFERSON.
With brush and canvas I may not portray, But come with me the meadow-path adown At vesper time ; the sun's last rudding ray Out golden deeps shines soft o'er pastures brown.
