What reading level is Narcissus, And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The birds were stilL No tiniest breeze was playing.
The leaves hung lax, like hands down dropped from praying.
Pale gold the sky : pale gold the lake : pale gold The light wherein the woods were cloaked and stoled As had the hour invested all creation For one supernal act of adoration.
And the vast silence was as music. Thrilled With harmonies empyrean, it filled All space with soundless song. No living speech 27 NARCISSUS To so impassioned utterance could reach.
And now for very bliss day swoo...ned to death.
Pouring his heart out in a blood-stained breath.
And Heaven stooped to gather in his souL With awe Narcissus watched from pole to pole The burning splendour spread, until again Thirst called to him, insistent, like a pain.
" E'en so," thought he, " my thirst for the ideal Is yet to find assuagement in the real Some victor hour high Heaven shall give reply: My soul must come into its own, or die." Recumbent still, along the pliant grass, To where the lake lay like a thing of glass, His supple limbs he drew with lissome grace, Till o'er the brink he bent his perfect face, " To all the gods I drink," devoutly said.
