What reading level is Thomas Gray book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Swept from the Northern wild, and smote his harp With such a stormy elemental rage, It made me mad, — he with such yearning deep, With such unconscious savage nakedness.
Out of the world's youth, impotent, half-beast, Half-hero, leaned and cried upon the air.
My sober manhood gained, not apt for jest Or loud uproarious revel, such a maze Of intertwined and tortuous passages, By which mankind wind backward to the dim And wailing Chaos, to the feet of God, Yawned vague before me, that I hastened ...on.
And so, through many a dim and dreaming day.
Wandered alone in labyrinthine glooms.
And trackless wastes, with sight of giant souls.
Whose robes I seemed to touch, and see their brows Contracted grim, and hear their muttered speech : Bishops and earls, tyrants and orators, Hugh with caressing gestures, Hereward With lion's mane, Morcar and Waltheof, Edward Confessor with his maiden flush.
And Alfred, with a demon at his brain And clouded eyes at council ; Alcuin And stately Charlemagne ; the pomp of Rome, — Pale Nero softly smiling, Cato stern.
