What reading level is Winged Victory book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For them the sky shall wear a crown of flame, And livid jewels of a strange desire To mock the laboured aftermath of shame, And bid the phosphorescent snake aspire To scale the Godhead, whence the curse arose. Deep on all sides the sacred hunger grows With craving for the tawdry ecstacy, Lust of the eye, the smell of sacrifice, Reverberation of the symphony, Wherein the voice of thunder and the cries Of devotees shall consecrate the hour. So Moloch too in Carthage long ago Found ministers to gi...ve the living dower Of their oblation ; while the drums beat slow The dirge of children whom the brazen-lipped Kissed and caressed with hot metallic hands Whence steaming blood upon the altars dripped. Such reverence the deity demands. 29 Long is the silence broken by the rain And expectation murmured in the dark, While round each heart yet closer coils the chain Of agonised foreboding, till a spark Brings ultimate fulfilment, and the old Brown cardboard corpses show the life within. Then waxes great the dragon gleaming gold, That fabled dragon called the Lucifer, And seeks once more to stroke the Seraphin With tongues high^darted, vivid tongues that stir The angels from their dreams.
