What reading level is Emerson's Complete Works book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You have perceived in the first fact of your conscious life here a miracle so astound- ing, — a miracle comprehending all the universe of miracles to which your intelligent life gives you ac- cess, — as to exhaust wonder, and leave you no need of hunting here or there for any particular exhibitions of power. Then up comes a man with a text of 1 John v. 7, or a knotty sentence from St.
Paul, which he considers as the axe at the root of your tree. You cannot bring yourself to care for it. You say... : " Cut away ; my tree is Ygdrasil — the tree of life." He interrupts for the moment your peaceful trust in the Divine Providence. Let him know by your security that your conviction is clear and sufficient, and if he were Paul himself, you also are here, and with your Creator.
194 THE SOVEREIGNTY OF ETHICS.
We all give way to superstitions. The house in which we were born is not quite mere timber and stone ; is still haunted by parents and progenitors.
The creeds' into which we were initiated in child- hood and youth no longer hold their old place in the minds of thoughtful men, but they are not noth- ing to us, and we hate to have them treated with contempt.
