What reading level is Distaff And Spindle; Sonnets book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
XLV AM I so selfish that I narrow all This world's immensity, — its boundless scheme Of sea and land, and sky, and star and stream.
Its suns unknown, its forces that appall.
Its labors, triumphs, promises that call The heedfiil soul to altitudes supreme, — All to the bounds of my own petty dream?
Am I so vain, so shallow, and so small?
I cry peccavi, and I pray my prayer ; But, though I gaze where star and planet be.
My rising tear-drops blemish all the blue; My lips are bitter with the taste o...f care, My soul is chilled with wintry prophecy; I reach for roses, — ^gather only rue !
XLVI tfOW grows a poem in a poet's heart, — From sudden light flashed on some hidden thought, From knowledge never learned and never taught, Dear memories snatched from pleasures that depart?
From tears that sympathies unlocked for start.
From dreams within the net of slumber caught, From joys within sweet waking moments wrought, From depths ungauged by science or by art?
Do poems grow from sorrows that bereave.
