What reading level is Humanity And the Man a Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And to this end, a gen'ral apathy Is first induced in matters of belief: Professions and outward conformity Suffice the multitude, now careless grown, Mere followers of ceremonial show Or wordy forms at intervals rehearsed, Like parrot phrases, signifying naught. Religion suffers to a like degree, Failing according to its hollowness Until at length, distrustful of its mission, And at th' advance of unbelief alarmed, It back recoils and from the contact shrinks 104 HUMANITY AND THE MAN.
Helpless..., unable of itself to oppose Aught with effect, the inroad to resist ; Till at th' advantage taken, Scepticism, With the pretended might of science armed, Essays in turn to drive her from her seat, Though she likewise the aid of science claims, Or humbly rather in distraction begs ; For each would fain have science their ally ; But Science, scorning hollowness and shift, Holds on the even tenor of her flight, Nor either helps, till in her own good time, Swift as a falcon stooping from the clouds, A writhing snake hooked fast either claw, To heaven ascends and dashes them to earth, Mangled and stunned, she, rising in her might, Not otherwise shall seize and downward hurl The hollowness of both, the patched-up forms Of sect, obstructive and incongruous, The rhetoric and imbecile displays, Oracular deemed of dim-eyed Atheism, That like the owl with vision circumscribed To narrow nightly range, grows garrulous On every trifle picked up in the dark.
