What reading level is The Dark Fire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Like rocks and crags, their limbs are torn from depths of outward calm, Let them embrace their agony, and weep, and kiss their hands, And gaily seize what rapture lies in banners and in drums, For youth was meant to bleed and die, or sorrow- fully grow old.
They are but common anguished men, waked from an opiate dream To see the lightning flash of life, ere they sink down again, Securer from its misery, its beauty and its grief They are like ancient songs that speak and then lie long unsung.

... It matters not what symbols are inscribed upon their van, They are the symbols and the songs. Gesticu- lating trees Thus stand upon the hills and rave towards the speechless sky, But in the end sink feebly down and fade into the ground.
And from the bodies of sweet girls as fair and white as flowers, The soldiers rise to storm foul hills, in search of words and dreams, And ebb a\vay among the stones to feed the gleaming corn, That with their beauty shall arise and quiver in the wind.
O you wise stones that lie and soak the beau- teous blood of men, The loveliness of all earth's crops, the soft entreating eyes Of fawn-like girls, have you no tale, no sweet consoling hope To utter as we stand in pain, and gaze upon the dead ?
