What reading level is Thekla, a Drama book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I loathe the walls Of purse-bound houses bought and sold. I hate The city gates that compass men to lives Of narrow circling. Ah — to sleep once more With starlight on my face — to know again The freedom of the open and the wild !
The purple of the distance lures me on — For somewhere there awaits a kingdom just For me — lay not a finger to your brow — There waits the kingdom of my happiness.
For this I toil o'er lonely desert stretch And mountain trail — I follow beckoning Of each new passing ...sail or lambent torch In lifted hand. The scars you see upon My body tell the story of the pain This quest has brought to me. Sometimes my feet Are numb and sight is blurred — what matter, if I keep my dream ? 'Tis this that recreates My life with each day's rising sun. If in The end I learn my long-dreamed kingdom is A futile quest — that nowhere blooms my land Of red joy-roses — then shall I make but One prayer unto the gods — not for the lost Fair kingdom of my happiness — but for The quick restoring of my dream — my fool's Rose-dream!
