What reading level is Sappho in Levkas And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
TO A MOCKING-BIRD Thy taunting happiness, Thy overbold upflashing bliss, Pierces my heart to-night, mocking-bird ! Beneath the limpid surge of darkness, The awe of stars and all the hush, Thou flingest far thy little joy, unawed Flushed with some momentary triumph, Or stray, delicious whim. The tumult of thy silver mockery Shakes through the trees, across the tranced lawn, And rouses weariness to pain within my heart.
Cease, cease thy rapture ! To-night the courage and the joy are gone ; I woul...d forget the battles and the ceaseless clash, The long, rewardless surge of strife, The race run and no laurels, The fight fought and no guerdon. To-night, only to-night, tis sweet No more to buffet with the winds of grief But bend to them, luxuriously abandoned. Again the light notes leap In gusts of gaiety ! Ah, bird, thy song, derisive of defeat And age and the inevitable doom, Is but the song of mine own people The conquerors, the unafraid And thou, in thy bright arrogance and fearless bliss [ 20 ] TO A MOCKING-BIED Summest the spirit of a newer age, The unprophetic confidence Of this new-sinewed western world.
