What reading level is The Hermitage And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
that a man with hand and brain Should, like a love-lorn girl, complain, Rhyming his dainty woes anew, When there is honest work to do !
What work, what work ? Is God not wise To rule the world He could devise ?
Yet see thou, though the realm be His, He governs it by deputies.
Enough to know of Chance and Luck, The stroke we choose to strike is struck ; The deed we slight will slighted be, In spite of all Necessity.
The Parcae's web of good and ill They weave with human shuttles still, And fate ...is fate through man's free will.
With sullen thoughts that smoulder hour by hour, In vague expectancy of help or hope Which still eludes my brain, waiting I sit Like a blind beggar at a palace-gate, THE HERMITAGE. 37 Who hears the rustling past of silks, and airs Of costly odor mock him blowing by, And feels within a dull and aching wish That the proud wall would let some coping down To crush him dead, and let him have his rest.
No help from men : they could not, if they would. And God ? He lets his world be wrung with pain.
