What reading level is Avgvstvs Saint-Gavdens book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The three figures for the Morgan tomb at Hartford were destroyed by fire. But even in the photograph of one of them which hes before me as I write, the lovehness of the sculptor's ideal of feminine form is obvious. The angel stands with hands outstretched, holding a scroll from which she sings. An expression of peaceful happiness irradiates the pure fea^ tures. The loose^flowing robe, confined at the waist with a girdle of leafage, is marked by many rippling folds. It 29 IS a beautiful figure, ...the attitude is perfect, and, above all, this angel expresses an imaginative idea* The same idea recurs, somewhat modified, in the caryatides executed for the house of G>mehus Vanderbilt,in the Smith tomb at Newport, and in the similar rehef which, with a group of medallions, represents Saint^Gaudens in the Luxem^ bourg. It is an idea of dehcate form, interpenetrated with an emotion pecuharly sweet,spiritual, and reposeful* The key is tenderly poetic, elegiac. Romantic as it is, it still does not exhaust his scope.
