What reading level is Bayard Taylor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In his high conception art became a redemptive addition to human life. Although he was gifted with the acutest sense of humor, sometimes flashing into uproarious mirth, his conscientious consecra tion to poetry forbade the intrusion of it into his verse. He could no more disturb his verse with humor than the priest at the altar could pervert his sacred function. To the American humorist there is neither Jew nor Greek, neither bond nor free. Even Lowell is not free from sin in this particular. A... jarring note grates on the reader of " The Cathedral " when its solemn thought is interrupted by an unnecessary comic digression.
For those who listened only to the tinkling cymbal Taylor frequently expressed his con tempt, " The dainty souls that crave Light stepping-stones across a shallow wave, Shrink from the deeps of Goethe s soundless song. " 244 BAYARD TAYLOR.
The only play of humorous verse that he per mitted was the occasional indulgence of an un usual genius for parody. Like Talleyrand he found nonsense singularly refreshing.
