What reading level is Essays Letters From Abroad Translation And Fragments volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sculpture retains its freshness for twenty centuries — ^the Apollo and the Venus are as they were. But books are perhaps the only productions of man coeval with the human race. Sophocles and Shakspeare can be produced and reproduced for ever. But how evanescent are paintings, and must necessarily be. Those of Zeuxis and Apelles are no more, and perhaps they bore the same relation to Homer and ^^schylus, that those of Guido and Raffael bear to Dante and Petrarch. There is one refuge from the des...pondency of this contemplation. The material part, indeed, of their works must perish, but they survive in the mind of man, and the remembrances connected with therii are transmitted from generation to generation. The poet embodies them in his crea- tions ; the systems of philosophers are modelled to 162 LETTERS FROM ITALY.
gentleness by their contemplation ; opinion, that legislator, is infected wixh their influence; men become better and wiser ; and the unseen seeds are perhaps thus sown, which shall produce a plant more excellent even than that from which they fell.
