What reading level is Ashes And Sparks book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The docile canvas waits the artist's soul, The colors on the palette patient lie To meet the beck of him who would portray The varied hues of landscape and of sky. The wan inventor bends the heated steel, The soldier arms for battle at the dawn, The writer limns his story of mankind, The singer sings his song and passes on. Each in his acre holds his sheening plow, Commanded but to till as best he may, And who shall say that these have lived in vain 82 THE QUEST Or strewn their seed along a bar...ren way ? But great is he who feels the lure of lands Uncharted, where no human foot has trod; Who hears afar from out the icy vast, His call the summons of an onward God. This man, this son of reasoned discontent The flame of conquering within his breast What recks he of the city's paven lanes, Of feasting, or of cushioned ease and rest? For him naught but the long and rugged way, The memoried kiss of her who could not go, The ceaseless stare of cold antarctic suns, The fearful marches through eternal snow; The tug of hunger at his shrinking frame, No hearth-fire lending its warm meed of cheer, Companioned oft by solitude and pain Amid the vigils of the awesome year!
