What reading level is Sidney Lanier book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are descriptions and historical anecdotes of the cities of South Carolina and Georgia ; aboye all, there are de- scriptions of the Florida country which only a poet could write. Two passages are characteristic : — *^ And now it is bed-time. Let me tell you how to sleep on an Ochlawaha steamer in May. With a small bribe persuade Jim, the steward, to take the mattress out of your berth and lay it slant- ing just along the railing that incloses the lower part of the deck in front and to the ...left of the pilot-house. Lie flat on your back down on the mattress, draw your blanket over you, put your cap on your head, on account of the night air, fold your arms, say some little prayer or other, and fall asleep with a star looking right down on your eye. When you wake in the morning you will feel as new as Adam.'* ^' Presently we abandoned the broad highway of the St. Johns, and turned off to the right into the narrow lane of the Ocklawaha. This is the sweetest water-lane in the world, a lane which runs for more than one hundred and fifty miles of pure delight betwixt hedge-rows of oaks and cypresses and palms and magnolias and mosses and vines ; a lane clean to travel, for there is 166 SIDNEY LANIER never a speck of dust in it save the blue dust and gold dust which the wind blows out of the flags and lilies." In the discussion of " The Symphony," empha- sis was laid upon Lanier's national point of view.
