What reading level is William Blake: a Critical Essay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Let me see *t ; Was it love or dark deceit ? ' * Love too loi^ from me has fled ; *Twas dark deceit, to earn my bread ; Twas covet, or *twas custom, or Some trifle not worth caring for : That they may call a shame and sin Love's temple that God dwelleth in.
And hide in secret hidden shrine The naked human form divine.
And render that a lawless thing On which the soul expands her wing.
But this, O Lord, this was my sin — When first I let these devils in.
In dark pretence to chastity Blaspheming ...love, blaspheming thee.
Thence rose secret adulteries.
And thence did covet also rise.
My sin thou hast forgiven me ; Canst thou forgive my blasphemy ?
Canst thou return to this dark hell And in my burning bosom dwell ?
And canst thou die that I may live ?
And canst thou pity and forgive ? ' " In no second poem shall we find such a sustained passage as that ; such light of thought and thunder LYRICAL POEMS 171 of verse ; such sudden splendour of fire seen across a strange land and among waste places beyond the receded landmarks of the day or above the glimmer- ing lintels of the night.
