What reading level is A Womans First Impressions of Europe Being Wayside Sketches Made During a Shor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We found the picture gallery closed for repairs, but had ample food for admiration in the statuary. The bronze Wolf of the Capitol was a matter of legitimate interest. We found here the beautiful doves of Pliny, which are so often reproduced in brooches. The boy extracting a thorn from his foot is one of the most graceful of sculptured works ; the engraving is one of my old admirations. The Ama zon, the Antinous, the Cupid, and the Fawn of Praxitiles need no description of their faultless pro p...ortions. Indeed, in touching upon world-renowned art, any thing beyond the names seems to belittle their dignity.
Pre-eminent in the Capitol, is the Dying Gladiator. I have no words to describe the wonderful power of the round, compact, muscular frame ; and the still more wonderful effect of the strong self control of mortal agony fading into dim unconsciousness, as u the drooped head sinks gradually low " in death. It is the only ancient sculpture that I have seen, where the perfection in physical developement is combined with the higherpower of perfect expression.
