What reading level is Among the Isles of Shoals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
wreck in woman's shape!
Were you ever gi-acious and sweet? Did youth's enchantment drape This horror, from head to feet ?
Have dewy eyes looked out From these hollow pits forlorn? Played smiles the mouth about Of shy, still rapture bornV 68 AMONG THE ISLES OF SHOALS.
Yea, once. But long ago Has evil ground away All beauty. The salt winds blow On no sorrier sight to-day.
Trodden utterly out Is every spark of hope. There is only left her, a doubt, A gesture, half-conscious, a grope In the awful d...ark for a Touch That never yet failed a soul. Is not God tender to such V Hath he not seen the whole ?
The local pronunciation of the Shoalers is very peculiar, and a shrewd sense of humor is one of their leading characteristics. Could De Quincey have lived among them, I think he might have been tempted to write an essay on swearing as a fine art, for it has reached a pitch hardly short of sublimity in this favored spot. They seemed to have a genius for it, and some of them really devoted their best powers to its cultivation.
