What reading level is The Inverted Torch And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If not the highest, yet so high, So clear and sweet his message rang, If not a priest or prophet sang Yet the whole world was more thereby. And the sad age forgot awhile Her sweat and tears, and stopped to quaff The mellow music of his laugh, And answered to it with a smile. And yet, methinks, he might have built Those Statelier Mansions for his art, Whereon the sweat of soul and heart About the corner stone are spilt. He, fiefed in yonder blue serene; He, free beyond the morning bars; He, fran...chised in the farther stars, And the wide spaces in between. Here had he with firm footstep trod, Here had he swept the sounding lyre, Whose waves of thunder and of fire Surge upwards to the feet of God; 107 But that he chose of his own will To heal the grievous wounds of man ; To walk the Good Samaritan, And gentle healer of the ill; To pour the balsam of his mirth, Free flowing from the lesser fount Sprung midways on the sacred mount, Upon the tired heart of earth. Perchance, he chose the better part.
