What reading level is The Idolatress, And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The scene Which now before me spreads so fair, where sleeps 92 The Idolatress.
The moonlight over streets and terraces.
And tracts of bowery distance far retiring, Where shadowy masses blend with fading light, As if calm sleep and death together meeting, Lay spent in conflict of their elements.
Which should be deemed the gentlest — what are they More than a lovely dream, which the dull truth, With morning's first grey gleam, shall disenchant Into the trite and base realities ? — Dark roofs, poo...r tents, rude paths, and sun-dried fields, Now merged in yonder soft obscurity.
Which lies like sleep around their nakedness.
So ends the painted phantom of man's life !
Yet wherefore seek this knowledge ? Why believe Yon beautiful expanse of moonlight scenes Less than their lovely seeming ? It is well To be so cheated : were all dreams thus brijrht !
Yet is it strange, that scene of solemn beauty Should wake these dull imaginings. * -^ ^ * ^ * On the air A far low murmur from the villages Of Judah's land, by distance and the breeze Attempered into concert with the streams, Comes blended on the ear from many a vale.
