What reading level is The Life And Poetical Works of George Crabbe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That wife expired, and great the loss sustain'd, Though much distress he neither felt nor feign'd ; He loved not warmly ; but the sudden stroke Deeply and strongly on his habits broke. He had no child to soothe him, and his farm. His sports, his speculations, lost their charm ; Then would he read and travel, would frequent Life's busy scenes, and forth Sir Owen went ; The mind that now was free, unflx'd, uncheck'd, Read and observed with wonderful effect ; And still the more he gain'd, the more... he long'd To pay that mind his negligence had wrong'd ; He felt his pleasures rise as he improved, And, first enduring, then the labour loved.
But, by the light let in, Sir Owen found Some of those passions had their chain unbound ; As from a trance they rose to act their part. And seize, as due to them, a feeling heart. His very person now appear'd refined. And took some graces from the improving mind : He grew polite without a fix'd intent. And to the world a willing pupil went. Restore him twenty years, — restore him ten, — And bright had been his earthly prospect then : But much refinement, when it late arrives, May be the grace, not comfort, of our lives.
