What reading level is Miscellaneous Prose Works 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hymn " — even " God save the King," and " Henri Quatre " — have in them more of the true spirit of the classic lyrists than the scholastic poems of Ogilvie, the formal choruses of Mason, or even the elaborate compositions of Gray. But whatever may be disputable as to the precise degree of merit due to Gray's odes, regarded merely in the lyrical character they assume — as poems of exquisite harmony, splendid diction, and picturesque imagery, they must rank among the most fasci- nating production...s in the language. I^ureague^ indeed, is the proper epithet to apply to the genius of Gray. His poet- ry opens, in every windipg of its involved sweetness, to such images and prospects as should serve to kindle the sister art.
More than any writer of his age, he made words the paint- ings of things. Like Young, he seeks the attainment of this object by personifications carried to a faulty excess — ^person- ifications that present but confiised notions, and are produc- tive but of false glitter ; thus, he can not speak of Hope, but it is " Gay Hope by Fancy fed." Not only Health is personified as of " rosy hue," but Cheer also is raised to a rank in my- thology, and " of Vigor bom." These unnecessary elevations of commonplace words tend to destroy the effect of the more worthy and noble personifications (immediately following) of the fury Passions and the painful F^ily of Death.
