What reading level is Whitman book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
will it improve manners? Can your performance face the open fields and the seaside? Will it absorb into me as I absorb food, air, to appear again in my strength, gait, face? Have real employments contributed to it? Original makers, not mere amanuenses?
So far as Whitman's poetry falls within any of the old divisions it islyrical, --a personal and individual utterance. Open the book anywhere andyou are face to face with a man. His eye is fixed upon you. It is a man'svoice you hear, and it is dir...ected to _you_. He is not elaborating atheme: he is suggesting a relation or hinting a meaning. He is notchiseling, or carving a work of art: he is roughly outlining a man; he isplanting a seed, or tilling a field.
XXV I believe it was the lamented Professor Clifford who first used the term"cosmic emotion" in connection with "Leaves of Grass. " Whitman'satmosphere is so distinctly outside of and above that which ministers toour social and domestic wants, --the confined and perfumed air of an indoorlife; his mood and temper are so habitually begotten by the contemplationof the orbs and the laws and processes of universal nature, that thephrase often comes to mind in considering him.
