What reading level is Lucifer a Theological Tragedy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A helpless consciousness of need.
Upon what food, then, doth this people feed ACT IV LUCIFER 103 That it forgets of whom it borrows breath ? Knows it the secret of the budding grain, Or can it conjure floods or summon rain ? Or grows it sick and amorous of death, Or like its father, Satan, dull to pain ? Oh, men have waxed too covetous of gold To lift their eyes up from their labour s gain ; And as each morning brings the sun again And summer wears his splendours as of old, They drive the ploug...hshare deeper in the mould And say : There are no longer gods in heaven ! With smitten breast and penance would they crave Their bread, if God less bountifully gave, But they forget him now, when all is given. Thus are the souls my Master died to save Like earth-regarding beasts in stupor driven Without the hope of heaven to the grave.
HERMES Old man, thy words are strange, thy thought is just. Our altars have not smoked these many years; Our shrines are desolate, our statues dust. None bring us sacrifice of joys and fears, 104 LUCIFER ACT IV As for our honour and their good they must.
