What reading level is Josephine And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
102 CHAPTER XIX.
DEATH.
What is death? Is it a dreamless Sleep? And the grave, is it gleamless?
Is there no ray of hope piercing it ?
What is death? Is it but losing Forms we here wore, and then choosing Other forms, demon or angel like?
DEATH. 103 What is death? Utter destruction Of this strange human construction.
And the soul, even more strangely formed ?
Is the grave only a flower bed, Nourished by dust of those long dead; Will that dust never immortal rise?
Death is like sleep, one awaking... Always the same form is taking That he bore, ere he was slumbering, Only refreshed, and the death sleep Has the same waking, 'tis then meet That we prepare for our longest sleep.
When we awake, at the sounding Of the last trump, the surrounding Clods of the valley shall yield their dead.
Many a turf of the hill-side, Many a wave of the blue tide Presses the dust of humanity.
104 POEMS.
He that was holy will still be Holy; the filthy still filthy; Only changed as to mortality. -^ Bone will to bone be united; Since out of chaos benighted, Matter came, ne'er was an atom lost.
