What reading level is Curiosity : a Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Alps rise on Alps " — in vain my muse essays To lay the spirit that she dared to raise : What spreading scenes of rapture and of wo, With rose and cypress lure me as I go.
In every question and in every glance.
In folly's wonder and in wisdom's trance.
In all of life, nor yet of life alone, In all beyond, this mighty power we own.
We would unclasp the mystic book of fate, And trace the paths of all we love and hate ; The father's heart would learn his children's doom, Even when that heart is ...crumbling in the tomb ; If they must sink in guilt, or soar to fame.
And leave a hated, or a hallowed name ; By hope elated, or depressed by doubt, Even in the death-pang he would find it out.
What boots it to your dust, your son were born An empire's idol or a rabble's scorn ?
Think ye the franchised spirit shall return.
To share his triumph, his disgrace to mourn ?
Ah ! Curiosity, by thee inspired.
This truth to know how oft has man inquired !
4 26 And is it fancy all ? can reason say Earth's loves must moulder with earth's mouldering clay ?
