What reading level is Poems Grave And Gay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Beauty itself is made of common dust. The cynic s sneer was hardly less than true, Love is, indeed, but selfishness for two. Where Venus once with Hymen held her court, Young men are bartered and young maids are bought, Unholy lips breathe forth unholy vows ; And fading blossoms droop on faded brows. So, till some purer life than this I see, No nuptial garland shall be twined for me.
" I will not mingle with my fellow-men, To be deceived and to deceive again.
IO2 At Newport.
Call me ascetic, cy...nic, what you will, I shall be calm and philosophic still, And, all unheeding what the world may say, Will not bow down to idols made of clay. I care not for the verdict of the crowd. Shame cannot crush, nor honor make me proud, The while in perfect peace I dwell apart, True to myself and tranquil in my heart.
" What matters honor and what matters shame ? A hundred years and all will be the same. Hence with the earthy idol and its throne, And let me walk forgotten and alone, Where dancing mist and flying foam arise, And distant seas commune with distant skies ; Where slanting drives the white-winged ocean bird, And naught save thunderous breakers can be heard, Or solemn sounds of gusty winds that roar Down the gray stretches of a ghostly shore.
