What reading level is A book of Images book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I said that the rose, and the lily, and the poppy were so married, by their colour, and their odour, and their use, to love and purity and sleep, or to other symbols of love 8 INTRODUCTION.
and purity and sleep, and had been so long a part of the imagination of the world, that a symbolist might use them to help out his meaning without becoming an allegorist. I think I quoted the lily in the hand of the angel in Rossetti's Annunciation, and the lily in the jar in his Childhood of Mary Virgin, an...d thought they made the more important symbols, the women's bodies, and the angels' bodies, and the clear morning light, take that place, in the great procession of Christian symbols, where they can alone have all their meaning and all their beauty. It is hard to say where Allegory and Symbolism melt into one another, but it is not hard to say where either comes to its perfection ; and though one may doubt whether Allegory or Symbolism is the greater in the horns of Michael Angelo's Moses, one need not doubt that its symbolism has helped to awaken the modern imagination; while Tintoretto's Origin of the Milky Way, which is Allegory without any Symbolism, is, apart from its fine painting, but a moment's amusement for our fancy.
