What reading level is Books On the Table book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By 1848 he had grown exhausted with this particular torment, and took up the Revolution, but when Matthew Arnold suggested to him that " the millennium is not coming this bout," he went to Rome to see for himself. He then wrote to F. T. Palgrave " Fare- well, poUtics, utterly ! What can I do ? " One of his old friends said of Clough that his mind was "habitually 132 Books on the Table swayed by large, slow, deep-sea currents." This was meant as praise, but it suggests the image of a derelict sc...hooner.
Obviously no lasting memory of this amiable and unselfish man could be based on his opinions or his actions. Yet, nearly sixty years after his death, he is still remembered, and in no danger of being forgotten. He is remembered by his poems, which, although they are amateurish in form and dry in texture, have an element of faint perennial interest. It is a valuable critical exercise to try to discover in what this permanent interest consists, since Clough's verse is almost the negation of poetry, and in particular is devoid of all the qualities which are admired at the present moment.
