What reading level is The Black Cat book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not only should not, but in our present state of development, _cannot_. The quatrain is the analogue of the Greek gem, the_consummate_ flower of the national art of the period. It will takeat _least_ a century to perfect and exhaust it. Have you seen mybook, "Three Quatrains"?
Denham.
No; have you published it lately?
Vane.
My dear Denham! I never _publish_ anything. In a wilderness ofmediocrity obscurity is fame.
Denham.
Yes, a well-advertised obscurity. But surely you _have_ publishedpoems?
V...ane.
Where have you lived, my dear fellow? I breathe a poem into the air, and the world hears. If some one prints it, can I help it? One doesnot print, wake, and become famous; one becomes famous, and theworld awakes, cackles, and prints one.
Fitzgerald.
By-the-bye, Vane, there's a quatrain in your "In the House ofHathor" I wanted to ask you about.
Vane.
Which?
Fitzgerald.
Let me see--it begins: "I saw a serpent in my Lady's heart, "-- Vane.
Ah! spare me the torment of hearing-- Fitzgerald.
