What reading level is Hylas And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is your house swept and bare? Has Death begun, When changeless laurel smiles beneath a brooding sun?
40 Firm fastnesses of Hope ! Enduring gods !
Courage and freedom were your ancient gifts.
Give more and more to us, whose sick faith shifts From truth to dismal doubt, from souls to clods.
Let the great hills render their high ac count : Some stars have dwindled yes! It is enough to mount. " HOC EXIGUUM Seemed it such a little time, Orator of old? Seems it still a lesser time, Now your bones are... cold?
The world is but the middle term Of one vast syllogism Who would not choose to live a worm, If crowned with after-chrism?
And all the doings of this earth Are matters of derision To him who sees a newer birth In the very newest vision.
With all my heart! The world is nought; But how, most noble Pagan, Could you construct a Christian thought, While Pan still ruled, or Dagon?
Full fifty years before the age Such doctrine was preferred . . .
And Plato too . . . O worthy sage, If you were disinterred; Confronted with the Fathers there, What would you have to say ?
