What reading level is Samphire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And a sound comes from them, a terrible sound, Like the wind in a tamarisk grove, Or a howl from some treacherous marshy ground Where the swamp-demons move.
And in that moan is the cracking of sticks Where Behemoth stalks thro the trees ; And in that moan is the flame that licks The knees of Rameses: And in that moan rocks Nineveh With her golden roofs and floors ! And in that moan quakes Babylon With her columned corridors !
From my little green seat of piled-up sods Like a dwarf on a churchya...rd mound I watch that row of bowing Gods And I hear that terrible sound.
They nod and mutter ; they sway and bend Like monoliths of stone, Like huge gaunt birds on a branches end, And as they bend they moan.
They shiver like monstrous skeleton leaves; They rattle like gibbets stark; They reel like ruined autumn sheaves In the stubble of the dark. [14] Their eye-sockets are hollow and deep; Their foreheads are cliffs of doom; And they bleat at me like gigantic sheep That are herded in a tomb.
And very slowly I lift my head And slowly I lift my hand And a row of horny beetles dead Lie scattered in the sand !
