What reading level is An Old Philosophy in 101 Quatrains book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is there a heaven bright ? Is there a hell ? We try to pierce in vain beyond the grave : All enter there, but none return to tell.
The Moslem still expects an earthly bliss, The Huri's winning smile arid martyr's kiss, And with fair Ganymedes dispensing wine, No future lot can, thinks he, vie with this.
The Buddhist holds Nirvana's blessings dear, And future consciousness illusion mere : The Sufi thinks already we are nought : Brahmins in Deity would disappear.
One thing is certain : earthly li...fe must end, And life and death do not together blend : Though what the end is ignorant are we, We know that all things to some future tend.
" What is the good ? Enjoy life while we may, And trust to blind chance for a future day. " Such is the Atheist's thought. But we were born For higher things than the Creator's play.
Look round on Nature and examine it, And as a cypher do not idle sit. Beckon it all, creation and decay, All things into each other how they fit.
10 We are but pieces of a single whole ; Man's body's not complete without a soul : The earth is not revolving here alone, Millions of orbs all with each other roll.
