What reading level is An Anthology of Australian Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ishmonie The traveller tells how, in that ancient climeWhose mystic monuments and ruins hoarStill struggle with the antiquary's lore, To guard the secrets of a by-gone time, He saw, uprising from the desert bare, Like a white ghost, a city of the dead, With palaces and temples wondrous fair, Where moon-horn'd Isis once was worshipped. But silence, like a pall, did all enfold, And the inhabitants were turn'd to stone --Yea, stone the very heart of every one!Once to a rich man I this tale re-...told. "Stone hearts! A traveller's myth!" -- he turn'd aside, As Hunger begg'd, pale-featured and wild-eyed.
John Liddell Kelly.
Immortality At twenty-five I cast my horoscope, And saw a future with all good things rife -- A firm assurance of eternal lifeIn worlds beyond, and in this world the hopeOf deathless fame. But now my sun doth slope To setting, and the toil of sordid strife, The care of food and raiment, child and wife, Have dimmed and narrowed all my spirit's scope.
