What reading level is A Masque of Shadows book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A Crowd of Merry-makers on all sides. Michael stands on a knoll apart, regarding the scrnr.
Michael I have no use for laughter. Yet a smile Were congruous as I meditate awhile On this uncultured scene of festival. Brainless amusement, vulgar pleasure, call Their votaries from crude and bestial toil To crude and bestial play. Discoloured soil, Befouled and trampled turf, the rusty green Of smoke-dried foliage, whose delicate sheen Has died before its birth, — a platform fit For the elaborate and... sardonic skit On ancient pastoral delights. How strange Fortune's caprice that chartered me to range A MASQUE OF SHADOWS 49 This low world's puddles like a pirate soul 'Mid paper vessels in a washing-bowl ! I, the first pioneer of that proud race Time's womb is now maturing to replace This pigmy breed, must wearily confess To finding in their squalid ugliness A burden of repugnant scorn. I long For earthly comrades, beautiful and strong, Who would not shame my rightful rule. Yet these Fulfil their purpose.
