What reading level is Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Writerswho carelessly rely on their elliptical speech-forms to govern theelaborate sentences of their literary composition little know whata conscious effort of interpretation they often impose on theirreaders. But it was not carelessness in Gerard Hopkins: he had fullskill and practice and scholarship in conventional forms, and it iseasy to see that he banished these purely constructional syllablesfrom his verse because they took up room which he thought he couldnot afford them: he needed in h...is scheme all his space for hispoetical words, and he wished those to crowd out every merely gram-matical colourless or toneless element; and so when he had gotinto the habit of doing without these relative pronouns--thoughhe must, I suppose, have supplied them in his thought, --heabuses the licence beyond precedent, as when he writes (no. _17_)'O Hero savest!' for 'O Hero that savest!'.
_Identical Forms_ Another example of this (from the 5th stanza ofno. _23_) will discover another cause of obscurity; the line 'Squander the hell-rook ranks sally to molest him' means 'Scatter the ranks that sally to molest him':but since the words _squander_ and _sally_ occupy similar positionsin the two sections of the verse, and are enforced by a similaraccentuation, the second verb deprived of its pronoun will followthe first and appear as an imperative; and there is nothing toprevent its being so taken but the contradiction that it makes inthe meaning; whereas the grammar should expose and enforcethe meaning, not have to be determined by the meaning.
