What reading level is A Flight in Spring in the Car Lucania From New York to the Pacific Coast And B book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When one looks at his carpenter s bench, preserved as a relic of his workman s life, and then at his tomb in the still THE TOMB OF JAMES LICK 119 silence and darkness of the great telescope cham ber, and then remembers all that this silent, lonely man has done, one cannot but believe that he had in heart, all along, great ideals which none of those about him, in the vulgar strife of life, ever imagined. What can be more unlike a narrow, selfish, unlovable, and avaricious man than his splendid o...ffering of a fortune to keep eternal watch upon the stars ?
These thoughts danced through one s brain in presence of it all. We were grateful to the old man, whose face, singularly like that of John Brown of Harper s Ferry fame, seemed to em body the tragedies and aspirations of life ; and we thought of his silent dust beneath us, as through his gifts we looked at Jupiter and his moons, and noted the strange belts which band the planet, brought near to us by the lens of the Lick tele scope. We saw also the crested edge, glittering like molten silver, of the moon of this our own planet, and longed to wait until Saturn should rise, and other wonders open before us.
