What reading level is Alcestis book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And from deep glens unbeholden Of the forest to his songThere came lynxes streaky-golden, There came lions in a throng, Tawny-coated, ruddy-eyed, To that piper in his pride;And shy fawns he would embolden, Dappled dancers, out along The shadow by the pine-tree's side.
And those magic pipes a-blowing Have fulfilled thee in thy reignBy thy Lake with honey flowing, By thy sheepfolds and thy grain; Where the Sun turns his steeds To the twilight, all the meadsOf Molossus know thy sowing And thy plou...ghs upon the plain. Yea, and eastward thou art free To the portals of the sea, And Pelion, the unharboured, is but minister to thee.
He hath opened wide his dwelling To the stranger, though his ruth For the dead was fresh and welling, For the loved one of his youth. 'Tis the brave heart's cry: "I will fail not, though I die!" Doth it win, with no man's telling, Some high vision of the truth? We may marvel. Yet I trust, When man seeketh to be justAnd to pity them that wander, God will raise him from the dust.
