What reading level is English Lyrical Poetry From Its Origins to the Present Time book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gray prepares us for his thought pre- cisely as Hamlet takes us to the edge of the grave when he tells us to what base uses we may return.
To the average reader the Elegy loses its effectiveness as it draws to its close; Gray writes his own epitaph, yet there is little direct self-revelation in the poem. In this respect it is interesting to compare it with Lamartine's Le Lac and Hugo's Tristesse d 'Olympic, two of the most beautiful ex- amples of French elegy. Lamartine's poem resembles Gray's ...in its harmony ; without adopting Gray's metre, he has much of his music. His thought is quite different from the English poet's, for the melancholy that oppresses him comes from a sense of personal loss. "Time's winged chariot" has passed swiftly by and he is left but the memory of his love. Hugo's elegy is a finer piece of work. The lover, revisiting alone his old trysting-placcs, finds that all is changed ; even nature is not the same, for the tree whose bark they carved has been cut down and their woodland paths have been turned into highways : " Que peu de temps suffit pour changer toutes choses !
