What reading level is Penthesilea a Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Achilles stood at his tent-door ; the sea Before him smiled ; but heavy thoughts like rain Clouded his darkening spirit, as his eyes Looked homeward toward the far Thessalian coast Where he was nurtured in fresh upland glens Of Pelion, and his father even now Kept his old age, watching uncomforted ; But most the thought of dear Patroclus' dust Drew his soul down to sorrow ; pacing slow The shore he came to where the mound was heaped On those beloved ashes ; there he bade Fetch wine, and poured ...libation to the dead.
42 PENTHESILEA There came a runner hasting from the camp, Who cried : ' Achilles, arm ! The battle joins ; And half our host, yet unprepared, recoils Before the onset of those Amazons Whose horses rush upon them, and they cry, Where is Achilles ? Arm, and bring us aid. 'Tis Agamemnon sends thee this command. ' But Peleus' son looked frowning and replied, 4 Go tell the King I heed not his command Nor any man's ; to-day my sword is sheathed. ' With that he turned him to his grief; the peal Of distant horn and crying of many cries, All the harsh drone of battle muttering swelled Beyond the trench and rows of stranded ships Half-sunk in sand, that with their rampart shut The beach into its calm of little waves Falling and hushing ; but to Achilles' ear That roar was vain and hateful ; and he drew His cloak over his head, and cried with groans, * O to what end, what end ?
