What reading level is Ode On the Opening of the Panama Pacific International Exposition San Francisco book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not all the sentried ramparts and the spears, Nor yet the trident and the walling swords Could stem its might. The thousand high'built Babylons of light May mock the stars no longer, nor their kings Be more than ashes where the desert finds Echoes of doom and conquest on its winds, But their names nevermore. What flaw in their foundations, and what ill Upon the hearts they bore, That now the jackal litters on the hill That once was Pharaoh's throne? The question holds one answer and but one, Be...tween the rising and the setting sun: They are the realms that built on self alone!
And we till now have built as even they!
And dimly and in few the vision stands Of that new City built not on the sands; And distant still the sunlight of that Day.
For walked the Babylonian again Within our streets, once more should he behold The immeasurable Care, That ancient curse of poverty and gold, The selfsame twins of luxury and pain, The olden madness of division where The poor beg work, and beg for it in vain, And children slave, and stones are given for bread, While Mammon lolls on cushions of his fat, Whose glut not all the toil of men can sate.
