What reading level is Verses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And, musing thus, I lay my books aside.
" To be or not to be ? " Life is a medley Played on a lute with many broken strings, Half sweet, half sorrowful, whose notes return Back to the chaos whence their being springs.
And I am weary as a little child On whose long play the summer sun has smiled.
So, shall I end it all ? Oh ! it were sweet To silence all the discord and forget Life's blows, life's tempests, and the torturing hate Of men, their sorrows and their ceaseless fret : — The hunger of a... hope unsatisfied : — Bitter the Second, — welcome suicide !
Strychnine ? Well, No ! It 's hardly good enough. Of course it does its duty, but, you see.
IN THE BLUES 53 It knots the muscles in tetanic spasms, And death is heralded by agony : Besides, it makes one's face convulsive, while I should prefer, when dead, to wear a smile.
And then there 's Prussic Acid. Well, it 's quick And very merciful : only a cry, A short shrill heart-shriek like a wounded deer's, And then you reel and fall and gasp and die.
