What reading level is Enjoyment of Poetry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is a final perfection of the art of painting things with words.
CHAPTER X EMOTIONAL REALIZATION "THE EVE OF SAINT AGNES" is wonderful, not only for the vividness of its pictures, but for the fact that they are made to move before us in a stream of romantic feeling. The feeling is pure and sustained; and therein the poet has revealed a great part of his genius. He has roused in us, be- sides an imagination of things, the real experience of an emotion. He has done this, however, by those same ...acts of choice and comparison. He has chosen for vivid imagining, many things about which the emotion is wont to cling, and compared them with other things having the same quality. In many parts of the poem this has been the sole motive of his w r ords.
The ode "To a Nightingale" is perhaps even more completely dominated by an emotion. Let us consider, without any context, one stanza of it: "Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget What thou among the leaves hast never known, The weariness, the fever, and the fret Here, where men sit and hear each other groan; Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs, Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies; 124 EMOTIONAL REALIZATION 125 Where but to think is to be full of sorrow And leaden-ey'd despairs, Where beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes, Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow.
