What reading level is Asphalt And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At a certain hour When the light is a perfect synthesis Of calm beauty, And the gathering veils of purple Are pierced by rosy mists, She stands as straight as she is able 63 OLLENDORFS WIFE And walks home, Unforgettably a part Of that sudden mysterious girlhood Of the world.
64 THE CITY SECOND AVENUE IN gutter and on side-walk swells The strange, the alien disarray, Flung from the Continental hells, From Eastern dark to Western day.
They pass where once the armies passed Who stained with splend...id blood the land But bloody paths grow hard with years, And bloody fields grow rich and grand. .
Are you, O motley multitude, Descendants of the squandered dead, Who honoured courage more than creeds And fought for better things than bread ?
The eternal twilight of the street Drives you to madness like a wine, To bastioned gates with bleeding feet, To walls that curse and locks that shine.
SECOND AVENUE O curious poison! Yellow fruit!
Bright lotos that enchains the sense! That gives the maiden to the brute, And power gives to impotence!
