What reading level is Seaward An Elegy On the Death of Thomas William Parsons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From that angelic race of perfect men (Sure, seraphs never trod the world till then!) Descends the race to whom the sway is given Of the world s morals by confiding Heaven. " There was always a strain of true religious feeling in Par sons, which deepened at the last into something rapt and intense; but Puritanism never ceased to be hateful to him, and this antagonism contributed to make him feel that his footsteps were on alien soil. An artist first of all, he was drawn more toward the services... of the ancient Church, for whose adornment art has so bountifully poured out its treas ures, than to any balder form of worship. To him the world was a problem in beauty and emotion. He was not incom moded with a message, as so many of his contemporaries were. This has been, perhaps, to the detriment of his repu tation in the past ; it may be to its advantage in the future. The man who speaks too consciously a message to his own time is apt to have none for any other. Parsons wrought from first to last in the true artistic spirit, and it is not un likely that his chief claims to the recognition of the future will be found in qualities of form and style.
