What reading level is The Religious Spirit in the Poets book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
153 The Religious Spirit in the Poets This is the language of one who has discovered the sacredness and therefore the gladness of things once neglected and despised. He has found out how much of heaven lies unnoticed and unused around the lives of men.
What has produced this change ? Of men to whom this power of vision is given, we are in- clined, realising that the guiding hand of a Higher Power must have been at work in their lives, to ask, " What did He to thee ? How were thine eyes opened?"... The Ancient Mariner's story gives the reply. He has chronicled his experience ; he sums it all up in one pregnant sentence in the closing stanzas. What it amounts to is this : he has been in hell and therefore he can appreciate heaven.
O Wedding-guest ! this soul hath been Alone on a wide wide sea ; So lonely 'twas, that God himself Scarce seemed there to be.
He has been on the margin of that region where God is not ; he has been to the borderland of hell. To the untroubled and undisciplined soul, which is following its own caprice and living in a reckless pleasure-seeking fashion, heaven would be the spot where the restraints ot righteousness do not make themselves felt and 154 ''The Ancient Mariner '' where the remembrance of God brings no mis- giving.
