What reading level is The Crows Nest And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No hackneyed sickness dwarfed his mind, In stupid faith decayed; Unsatisfied, he strove to find Some way the infinite to bind In marble, mystic made.
The glowing glass the blower bends In shape unto his will; In growing cold the fever spends ; In other forms he then intends To shape new beauty still.
But he, the builder, could not square With years his primal plan : Beyond all compass did he dare To build more beautiful and fair Than time allows to man.
Here some o'erwhelmed aspire with awe Who... with the master-mind immerse, Beholding beauties without flaw, Assembled unto magic law, As is the universe.
58 Not so the sleepy celebrant : His hopes are all attained; His heaven sure, he reads the chant, And they are safe who hold his cant, Because his god is chained.
By bells and beads his prayers are made ; His soul is satisfied ; He dwells in damp, sepulchral shade, And shadows on his soul are laid From light he has denied.
The swinging censer fills the air With heavy mist of myrrh, With fragrant gums and spices rare, And sculptured saints, who glory wear, Are lost amid the blur.
