What reading level is Thirty Five Sonnets book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE HUNTRESS OF STARS Tell me, O Night! what horses hale the moon! Those of the sun rear now on Syria's day, But here the steeds of Artemis delay At heavenly rivers hidden from the moon, Or quench their starry thirst at cisterns hewn In midnight's deepest sapphire, ere she slay The Bull, and hide the Pleiades' dismay, Or drown Orion in a silver swoon.
Are those the stars, and not their furious eyes, That now before her coming chariot glare? Is that their nebulous, phantasmal breath Trailed like... a mist upon the winter skies, Or vapors from a Titan's pyre of death Far'wafted on the orbit of Altair?
43 THE COMING SINGER The Veil before the mystery of things Shall stir for him with iris and with light; Chaos shall have no terror in his sight Nor earth a bond to chafe his urgent wings; With sandals beaten from the crowns of kings Shall he tread down the altars of their night, And stand with Silence on her breathless height, To hear what song the star of morning sings.
With perished beauty in his hands as clay, Shall he restore futurity its dream.
