What reading level is A Boswell of Baghdad book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On saying farewell, she saw me borne down by the pains of love, and consented to grant me a kiss; (96) Wine, Women and Song but, impelled by startled modesty, she drew her veil across her face. On this I said: "The full moon has now become a crescent. " I then hissed her through the veil, and she observed: "My kisses are wine: to be tasted, they must be passed through the strainer. " (It seems, however, from Ibn Khallikan's anxious dubiety on the matter, that this poem, after all, may have been... written, like the Iliad, by another poet of the same name. God only knows. ) Another Anacreontic, this time by Ibn Zuhr: Whilst the fair ones lay reclining, their cheek pillowed on the arm, a hostile inroad of the dawn took us by surprise. I had passed the night in filling up their cups and drinking what they had left; till inebriation overcame me, and my lot was theirs also. The wine well knows how to avense a wrong; I turned the goblet up, and that liquor turned me down.
The poetry of love comprises, alas !
