What reading level is The Poetical Works of Thomas Gray Thomas Parnell William Collins Matthew Gree book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No English poet occupies a safer post. He is an earlier Goldsmith, with a scholarly taste. His poems are pre-eminently the offspring of refinement. The more he did, the better he did it. His fancy was a tree that burst into richer bloom the oftener it shed its leaf. The last year's fruit is mellower than that of the former ; between the verses on the Peace and the Fairy Tale, a century of cultivation and fine weather seems to be inter- posed. His versification is evidently modelled on Pope's, b...ut it retains a simpleness and a natural harmony of its own. The village girl singing at her door, is not more different from Belinda in the pride of her mirror. Gold- smith exhibits Parnell's true character in the epithets of his inscription; his path to pleasure is "flowery, " his lesson is "gentle, " and the voice that utters it is "tune- ful. " Johnson introduces a pleasant illustration of the poet's genius in the diary of his Welsh Tour, where he contrasts the beauties of two very different scenes : — " Ham has grandeur tempered with softness ; the Wanderer congratulates his own arrival at the place, and is grievec) to think that he must ever leave it.
