What reading level is Francis Thompson, Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All sense of form and outward things, drawn into the purifying realm of fancy arose again sweet and lovely, like hepaticas from the deadened leaves.
Thompson was nominally a Catholic, and much of his expression is tinged with religious feeling or rather adorned with religious anal- ogy. But he, like Keats, was influenced by the Classic spirit, and the decorations of his verse are ancient rather than modern. His natural inclination was toward a mild pantheism. He saw a deity in the sunset, a nai...ad in the stresun ; the graces moved through his ezurthly realm, and the fates, alas, hovered about his sorrowful existence.
Though suffering the terrors of privation and want, the bitterness of his pain seldom sounded in his harmonious song. Only rarely, in "An FRANCIS THOMPSON 55 Anthem of Earth" or "Any Saint," the wretch- edness of his life has crept into his verse, — the awful mental anguish, softened and assuaged by the beauty of an eternal hope however vague and uncertain. This is the strangest thing in the artist's life — that production of such exquisite beauty could flourish amid the rank growth of surrounding affliction and dis- aster.
