What reading level is The Island of Youth And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thence the wind blew chill, Fingered their faces, pushed their tresses back And laid the airy garments cold and close Against their shivering and reluctant flesh. Away from them, alone, the Stranger paused High on the shoulder of the stony hill, And looking eastward as they west, beheld At vision's limit, poised in crystal air, The phantom of a mountain-range, whose base Sprang out of vapour, but whose floating peaks Threw back in broken gold the sun's last light.
Dazzled she stood and stared. ...The moun- tains swam 69 Like rainbowed ice afloat on Arctic seas, Inpalpable, but sharp of edge and colour, One moment, and the next dissolved in shade, Gone like a glowing cloud that winds dis- perse ; And darkness from that first drowned point came on, Hurrying on to cover all the world.
Again Achilles laid upon the rock His maiden garments, now with sad contempt Yet something new of sorrow in the touch That needlessly made smooth their tumbled folds.
Then, like the rising of the winter sun, Burning but sullen-hued, out of pale clouds, The hero's body rose, from that eclipse For ever freed.
