What reading level is Fleet Street Eclogues book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A bell rings faintly: curled and braided smoke O'erhangs the humming Canongate, and flings Dusky festoons that wither as they fall About the wasted towers of Holyrood. In front the burnished disc of day descends The ample crimson west ; behind, the night In silent legions troops into the air. Masses of vision overwhelm me thus: I am haunted by the heavens and the earth 130 LAMMAS Darkness and light; and when I am addressed I answer from the point, or petulantly, Or say the opposite of what I wo...uld, And am most awkward, helpless, and forlorn.
Wherefore I shun the company of men, Not fearing them, but fearful of myself; Surely to strive to please and still to fail Is to be wretched in the last degree.
SANDY Then do not strive to please: contemn contempt, And trust yourself.
NlNIAN But I mistrust myself: A word, a glance, a cloud, a beam of light, A perfume from its orbit shakes my soul.
FLEET STREET ECLOGUES SANDY This weakness comes because you look without.
NlNIAN I look without: you look within: what then?
