What reading level is Matthew Arnold book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not daily labor's dull, Lethean spring, Oblivion in lost angels can infuse Of the soiled glory, and the trailing wing.
The poet addresses her as if she were an angel born again into an alien planet; one destined to have some stray gleams of sunshine in her passage through this stormy world, and to win some few prizes in the struggle of life; but yet likely to be blinded by the " black sunshine," to lose her pristine grace, and to relearn but little of the Wisdom that was formerly her birthright.... Earthly life would finally prove not worth living: Once, ere thy day go down, thou shalt discern, Oh once, ere night, in thy success, thy chain !
Ere the long evening close, thou shalt return, And wear this majesty of grief again.
This is Wordsworthianism conceived in a con- trary way: childhood as a period of pensive sad- 70 Matthew Arnold ness; the experiences of life, not as furnishing us with "a faith that looks through death," but with materials to wrap our brows in gloom and make us feel that all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
