What reading level is The Poetical Works of Thomas Gray book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
215 now so used, and the word would have become ob- solete but for Gray's use of it here, and when one speaks of the curfew one thinks of the first line of the "Elegy. " It occurs frequently in Shakespeare, and Milton uses it twice, "Comus, " 435, and in the well- known lines in "II Penseroso " : " I hear the far-off curfew sound Over some wide-watered shore. " 74, 75.
Gray quotes in original the lines from Dante which suggested this line. Gary's translation is as fol- lows : " And pilgrim, new...ly on his road with love, Thrills if he hear the vesper bell from far, That seems to mourn for the expiring day. " 2. Wind. This is the correct reading, as, though winds occur in the first printed edition (1751), wind is what Gray has in the MS. Copies and in the first edition of his Poems (1768), as well as in all reprints of the "Elegy" approved by him. After 1751 the first edition I find with winds is Stephen Jones' (1799), and though Mitford in his edition of 1814 has wind, in the Aldine edition (1836) he has winds, and is followed without comment by almost all sub- sequent editors of Gray's "Poems, " and in popular reprints of the "Elegy.
