What reading level is The book of the Dead book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
IF sorrow is love s fruit, and love A tinted blossom of the morn, That drops ere noontide from above, A wreck for man s maturer scorn ; If man should leave the flower for maids To twine amongst their wanton hair, And bear the bitter fruit to shades Of lonely philosophic care ; If icy wisdom is life s prize, And love an artificial want, I fear the frozen brains, thus wise, Are in their wisdom ignorant.
From point to point they slowly climb, And time outruns their tardy pace ; But Love, that mock...s the foot of Time, Bears revelation in his face.
THE BOOK OF THE DEAD. 93 A revelation somewhat dashed With clouds of doubt, but partly riven, As though God suddenly had flashed His presence on us out of heaven.
Yet filled with yearnings vague and vast, That beckon from the top of things, With longings for some glory past, With consciousness of growing wings ; With sense of something overhead, That glimmers through this dusty strife, And shines victorious on the dead, Above the darkened vale of life.
