What reading level is Grass of Parnassus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That other love, afield, afarFled the light love, with lighter feet. Nay, though thou seek where gravesteads are, And flit in dreams from star to star, That dead love shalt thou never meet, Till through bleak dawn and blowing rainThy soul shall find her soul again.
A LOST PATH.
Plotinus, the Greek philosopher, had a certain proper mode of ecstasy, whereby, as Porphyry saith, his soul, becoming free from the deathly flesh, was made one with the Spirit that is in the world.
Alas, the path is lost..., we cannot leaveOur bright, our clouded life, and pass awayAs through strewn clouds, that stain the quiet eve, To heights remoter of the purer day. The soul may not, returning whence she came, Bathe herself deep in Being, and forgetThe joys that fever, and the cares that fret, Made once more one with the eternal flameThat breathes in all things ever more the same. She would be young again, thus drinking deepOf her old life; and this has been, men say, But this we know not, who have only sleepTo soothe us, sleep more terrible than day, Where dead delights, and fair lost faces stray, To make us weary at our wakening;And of that long lost path to the DivineWe dream, as some Greek shepherd erst might sing, Half credulous, of easy Proserpine, And of the lands that lie 'beneath the day's decline.
