What reading level is The Poetical Works of William Falconer With a Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
P. 39, 1. 671. Deep midnight now involves the livid skies.
A passage that has wonderful accuracy and beauty. The scene begins with description, picturesque and pleasing; then a general effect of the phantasms of sleep is spread over it; it then becomes more particular, and the mind is roused by the striking contrast All hands unmoor! Nothing can exceed the manner in which this whole scene is set before us: the weighing of the anchor, and the appearance of the vessel as she glides secure along t...he glassy plain. W. L. B.
No one but a seaman would have thought of the epithet livid, so expressive of the discoloured sky, of thafdeep black and blue which pervades its concavity at sea, previous to an easterly gale. The waning moon was thus originally introduced: " The pale-orb'd moon, diffusing watery rays, Gleam'd o'er protracted clouds, and ambient haze. " TO CANTO I. 149 During the time that I passed at sea with my ever-lamented friend Admiral Payne^I was frequently induced by that superior taste for poetry which he possessed, to observe the variations of the sublime scenery with which we were surrounded.
