What reading level is Poems By Aurelian book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How long shall our hearts that are craven Hope on against hope for a haven In gods that are gilded and graven And fashioned of clay ?
We hunger for profitless mercies, With souls over-tame, To offer deaf ears to their curses, Blind eyes to their blame.
We prate of Messiahs descending To man, ever marring and mending An earth that knows naught of its ending, Nor aught of its aim.
22 Digitized by VjOOQLC AH DISILLUSION Do we dream that our Gods are eternal ?
Nay — look overhead : Are the leaves o...f last summer still vernal, Their blossoms unshed ?
Though regal the splendour they rode in, Apollo and Isis and Odin, Haled out from the halls they abode in, Lie pallid and dead.
And desolate all the high places That knew them of old ; No murmur of worship, no traces Of purple and gold.
Where the paean arose and petition, Grey time, the eternal magician, Clothes over the haunts of ambition With herbage and mould.
23 Digitized by Google DISILLUSION The power of the past and the wonder Have vanished away ; The mighty, whose threats were as thunder, Whose wrath as the ray That from out the high firmament flashes When the hurricane clutches and clashes, Are cold as their altars and ashes.
