What reading level is Enoch Soames a Memory of the Eighteen Nineties book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I thought the authorof "Fungoids" did, unconsciously of course, owe something to the youngParisian decadents or to the young English ones who owed something toTHEM. I still think so. The little book, bought by me in Oxford, lies before me as I write. Its pale-gray buckram cover and silver letteringhave not worn well. Nor have its contents. Through these, with amelancholy interest, I have again been looking. They are not much. Butat the time of their publication I had a vague suspicion that they...MIGHT be. I suppose it is my capacity for faith, not poor Soames'swork, that is weaker than it once was.
TO A YOUNG WOMAN THOU ART, WHO HAST NOT BEEN!
Pale tunes irresolute And traceries of old sounds Blown from a rotted fluteMingle with noise of cymbals rouged with rust, Nor not strange forms and epicene Lie bleeding in the dust, Being wounded with wounds.
For this it isThat in thy counterpart Of age-long mockeriesTHOU HAST NOT BEEN NOR ART!
There seemed to me a certain inconsistency as between the first andlast lines of this.
