What reading level is A Look Round Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The reader finds a great dark- ness growing upon him : and, in fact, such a darkness is necessary, unless he prefers to be led blindfolds Dazzled with the mystery of the Atoms, he moves on, in humble expectation of having the whole further process of Being explained.
No explanation is vouchsafed him. Book IIL opens with another eulogy of Epicurus, who, by teaching men that the world was not formed by a Divine Power, but by a fortuitous concourse of Atoms, relieved men from supernatural dread — ...of the gods, of death, and of post-mortem punishments. It is a great jump from the fortuitous concourse of chemical elements to the mind and soul of man — a jump which A NOTE ON LUCRETIUS. 107 could never be forgiven in a theologic poet, but is highly eulogised in one whose "scientific imagi- nation^^ favours modern Materialism. Animus, or mind, resides in the heart, while anima is diffused throughout the whole body ; and both animjis and anima are simply combinations of minute atoms. We are thus gradually led to the main argument of the book, that what is called the soul perishes with the body : Quid dubitas, tandem quin extra prodita corpus Imbecilla foras, in aperto, tegmine dempto; Non modo non omnem possit durare per sevum, Sed minimum quodvis nequeat consistere tempus ?
