What reading level is Fireside Sonnets book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So Man repeats, with age-recurring woe, The greatest of the human reason's flight: "That is, without which Man would not be so." 51 QUESTION And yet, what's in ourselves of utter rout Of Fancy's shaping? Every mind of thought Deems as a treasure all that Good has taught, Distressed by the coastless chart of doubt. Convinced by neither, for the snaky knout Hangs over fortune, and there lives not aught But quarrels for subsistence; ill lives, wrought Into the weft of life, no life without. - For ...this present, the mind on tosses, driven Through hopes and fears, a sea at hopeless war, A virtue seeming like a rescue stolen. What is the future, when the law, our star, Shines not to Eternity and Heaven, Alike beyond our prospect, as we are. 53 THE ROSE Existence is delight unto the Rose, That, save in dying, knows not aught of death ; But Man looks after, all his hours knows Of millioned accident and flight of breath. When, then, did Nature to this knowledge rise, So force the clay? How does she leap the span That bounds the perfect crystal of the wise, Faith, Hope, and Charity, respect for Man And Nature, awe reached, gentleness displayed.
