What reading level is Essays Addresses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They were a delight in themselves and had rules which a poet never broke. Our metres are mostly inconspicuous : as a rule they are only types to which we approximate with as much or as little exactitude as we find convenient. Our poetry is apt to slip out like a stream of wet mud or concrete ; theirs was built and fitted, chip by chip, block by block, of hard marble. Take an average Ovidiaii couplet : the first two lines of one of the Heroides, imaginary letters written by legendary damsels to ...absent lovers. This is Phyllis, a princess of the wild Thracian mountains, writing to Demophoon of Athens. Hospita, Demophoon, tua te Rhodopeia Phyllis, Ultra promissum tempus abesse queror. " I, Phyllis of Rhodopfi, O Demophoon, your late hostess, complain that you are absent beyond the time promised. " That I flatter myself is a blameless trans- lation. Not a single iota of poetry or of character either is left in it. Now let us try to see what we have left out, and to conceive the effect of the order of the words in Latin.
