What reading level is The Poet's Diary book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I cannot say, for her pace was slow, and we strode off to the Palatine to a spot which was once the portico of Adonis, but where now stands the church dedicated to the Prefect of a Roman cohort, whom we all know from his exquisite young frame pierced with arrows. It is Digitized by Googk 132 THE POET'S DIARY an odd thing that he should have come to be thus represented, and I wonder if Adonis and his Portico, where the saint's martyrdom commenced, have anything to do with this obvious falsificat...ion of history and reality. For the Prefect of a Roman cohort could not well be a young man. The *Acts of Saint Sebastian* say *that the soldiers revered him as a father,* not a likely phrase to apply to a youth. Moreover, in the chapel dedi- cated to him in San Pietro in Vinculis, there is a mosdc of the seventh century which represents him as an aged warrior with white locks. In the * Acts ' to which I have referred, it is narrated that he was not slain by the arrows with which he was first assailed, but was cured of his wounds by the care of Irene, the widow of another martyr.
