What reading level is Chinese Legends And Lyrics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Since then, this simple little verse To cure complaint I oft rehearse — " Though some be better, more are worse. " [ 62 ] FROM CLASSICAL SOURCES- Continued m wk A Chinese ' Raven ' THE FU-NIAO, OR BIRD OF FATE.
From the Chinese of Ala 17, 200 B. C.
»^!WAS in the month of chill November, ^■"^ As I can very well remember — In dismal, gloomy, crumbling halls, Betwixt moss-covered, reeking walls, An exiled poet lay — On his bed of straw reclining, Half despairing, half repining ; When athwart the... window sill Flew in a bird of omen ill, And seemed inclined to stay.
To my book of occult learning, Suddenly I thought of turning, All the mystery to know, Of that shameless owl or crow, That would not go away.
[ 63 ] " Wherever such a bird shall enter, 'Tis sure some power above has sent her ( So said the mystic book) to show The human dweller forth must go, " — But ichere it did not say.
Then anxiously the bird addressing, And my ignorance confessing, " Gentle bird, in mercy deign The will of Fate to me explain, — Where is my future way 9 It raised its head as if 'twere seeking To answer me by simply speaking, Then folded up its sable wing, Nor did it utter anything, But breathed a " Well-a-day !" More eloquent than any diction, That simple sigh produced conviction, Furnishing to me the key Of the awful mystery That on my spirit lay.
