What reading level is Children of Fancy Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
God is a spirit and we are but flesh ; Yet, even as Pythagoras hath told, Do we, within the fleshly frame, enmesh A spiritual shape, still breathing fresh The fragrance caught from the diviner mould.
God is a spirit ; how can we attain To that sublime communion unalloyed — The mystic union unto which we strain With voiceless utterance of eager pain And striving hands that reach into the void?
MENALKAS 109 So unattainable, so far away, Supernal and inimitably great, Whom we may love, as infant c...hildren may The wise controller of their simple day, With whom they cannot yet communicate.
And God is wise, with wisdom absolute; Yet of his wisdom gives us each some seed, That in our being quickens and takes root, And may, with utmost effort, bear the fruit That solves the mystery of our deepest need.
So the All-Wise, as wisdom's stores increase And knowledge spreads, grows nearer than before ; The soul from fleshly trappings finds release In close ecstatic commune of strange peace, When, poised on knowledge' pinions, it can soar.
