What reading level is Memorial Ode And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Delicate, faultless, feminine hands, White as lilies I used to cull, Too languid to hold the jeweled bands That load them. See ! the wine looks dull Beside the sparkling of that ring; I wonder what purchased it, love or gold, Or another shameless, nameless thing To think of it makes one s blood run cold.
[44] Perhaps the face has something to tell Beautiful, ay, but scarcely blithe One dreams of seeing such faces in hell Wreathed round with fire till they writhe and writhe.
Am I dreaming now?... No, this face laughs God! what a tale that laugh has revealed!
Curled lips I could better bear their scoffs; I know my heart s-blood is nigh congealed.
But wine will warm it. Why, this cup Is strangely like the one I grasped When the first wine-draught was lifted up To my lips by other hands gem-clasped. The gems still sparkle, they say ; and her hands Nay, ask the grave-worm. What if she saw My soul from the heaven where her soul stands, Would she shrink to think of the hell- worm s maw Horrible thoughts are these that rise But the wine, the wine !
