What reading level is Dante Gabriel Rossetti book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1850 Rossetti completed the famous drawing in ink with a pen, entitled Hesterna Rosa, which illustrates the song, pregnant of sorrow and shame, of Elena, the mistress of Philip van Artevelde, in Sir Henry Taylor's noble drama. The motto of Hesterna Rosa is : "Qjoth tongue of neither maid nor wife To heart of neither wife nor maid, 'Lead we not here a jolly life Betwixt the shine and shade ? ' " Quoth heart of neither maid nor wife To tongue of neither wife nor maid, ' Thou wag'st, but I am w...orn with strife, And feel like flowers that fade ! " The scene is a tent pitched in a pleasaunce and, though a pallid dawn gathers force among the trees, still lit by lamps from within, so that the gaunt and ghostlike shadows of a party of revellers seated in front of the design flicker and start ominously upon the canvas walls. One gambler is seated on a couch and throwing dice upon a stool placed before the group, while his companion kneels opposite and, with a goat- like action, draws between his lips the finger of his mistress, the singer, and Hesterna Rosa of the design, who, half hiding her face with her disengaged hand, sits behind him.
