What reading level is The Overland Monthly book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor is it any small thing to be able to use words as well as they are used in all these poems, and to scatter through the pages bits of fine imagination, such as : " Here, in the depth of the land where the hills are a shade and a silence, Listening, I hear the myriad, mounting feet of the tides, As they follow the moon, their white priestess." " As I sped by, as I sped by, — And fervid noon was in the sky, And sickles rested on the swath, — One bearded stalk awoke from sloth, And lightly swaye...d it to and fro Till all its fellows swayed arow ; And where no breathed sound had been Went bickering whispers fine and thin." *' There, the night hath no stars, but dim beacons that flare in the wind ; Black is the spray of the fountain ; many a river runs blind, Pouring with hoarse lamentation, through measureless chasms below." It is no little thing, either, to write in unstrained rhythm, which yet never degenerates to carelessness or jingle. It is a great deal to respect one's art, to show an intimacy with the best models, and to be free from morbid tricks, obscurities, melodrama ; a great deal, too, to be impersonal, to touch one's deep- est chord in lamenting Daphne's fate, instead of one's own troubles.
