What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Indeed, one is inclined to think, at times, that the Pyramids of Egypt are nothing but enor- mous crystals, formed and left there by the soul of a Washington or a Bonaparte, when it first came into being, and centuries before it assumed the human form. People may have mistaken for masonry, the cleavage in laminae, parallel and perpendicular to the base, of the interfacial solid angles, which cleavage, by a law of crystallization, is a property of the octahedral prism ; and by which, after suffi...cient removal of the laminae, it would become a cube ; a natural mistake, when we reflect that the minutest crystal, under a microscope of adequate power, would present the appearance of steps upon its surfaces ; and that, in the case of the pyramids, but half of the octahedron is visible ; otherwise a strange mistake ; as if the account of Heroditus, that the erection of one of them employed a hundred thousand men for twenty years, is not manifestly a bear story ; as if the ancients possessed a mechanical force sufficient to raise those immense blocks of stone, which we cannot so much as move ; as if, granting its possession, it were not only an impossibility, but a libel on humanity, that such an amount of labor could have been directed in such a channel, for so long a time ; as if AN UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.
