What reading level is Spider-Webs in Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But what of the didactic? Whatever has the primary object of teaching delivers its treasures to the keeping of the intellect. If, therefore, verse aiins primarily to teach, but ministers to the sensibilities only incidentally, it is not true poetry. Poetry does not teach nor preach nor argue nor discuss. Those are the provinces of prose. Poems and roses must not teach ; they must bloom. Their breath delights us, their suggestions, their reflections of a Divinity that is above them, lifts us — G...od knows why! The cry of pain, the romping laugh of children at play, the pathos of death, the touch of the hand or the lips of the one we love needs no ar- gument to fill the heart with uncontrollable emotion.
92 WHA T IS POETR Y?
These are the sweetest of the poet's themes, and he has but to reveal them without argument as they are expe- rienced in the heart. Argument kills them. Just in proportion to the didactic character of verse the path of poetry is departed from, and the realm of prose in- vaded.
