What reading level is The Travellers Tale book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
38 There were two selves within me, one the old And one that had but lived a single day, And this new self that I desired to be Stood giddily over the chasm between the two.
Even the now familiar room appeared Like some live thing that could not move or breathe But watched me with another sense than sight.
I thought the little noises in the house Would never cease. I fancied that the slaves Had somehow guessed that she and I now loved And had been put to seize me, should I stir.
A silence came.... I heard their halting steps And wondered, breathless, would they block me in, A prisoner, till the time were gone, or now Could I slip forth ? Again there was no noise.
I gathered up a cloak and flung it on, And gliding without sandals past the door Caught the soft air like spray upon my cheeks.
Then at the outer gate I loosed the bolt And brushing back some flowers, and winding on Through the fantastic garden, as when we dream, Came in at last to Aphrodite's Bower.
Shrill in my ears the fountain's jubilant plume, Showering continual starlight, called and cried Like an enamoured naiad : and between The feet of Aphrodite lay a flower, 39 A crimson lotus-blossom, newly-plucked.
