What reading level is Agnosticism, And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His wife, who worshipped him, had said to me : 'I am so happy be- cause my husband has no ailment, because he is unharmed by the least bodily ill.' ...Yesterday I saw that wife. Her attire was one blackness of mourning. Her lip trembled as I took her hand. Life to her had suddenly become a torture.
Why should it not so become to me, at any hour, at any instant ? I fold my arms all the closer about my own wife in realizing the possibility of a like calamity ; but my love is none the less mingled... with fear.
What should I do if she were torn from me? Could I take up again the burden of living? No, no ; as I watch her live face it seems impossible that she should be made mute and irresponsive to this devotion I hoard for her, inexhaustible, the sweet miserly accrument of conjugal years ! And my children ! How I love them ! They are she ; they are even more ; the guileless egotism of fatherhood invests their treas- ured vitality. I press my lips to my daugh- ter's lips, to the lips of my son, with a passion different from yet even more sacred than the ecstasy of manhood's early love.
