What reading level is Impressions And Comments book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is the moment, doubtless, when Linnaeus, according to the legend, saw a gorse-covered English common for the firsttime and fell on his knees to thank God for the sight. (I say "legend, "for I find on consulting Fries that the story must be a praiseworthyEnglish invention, since it was in August that Linnaeus visited England. ) Linnaeus, it may be said, was a naturalist. But it is not merely thenaturalist who experiences this emotion; it is common to the larger partof humanity. Savages deck t...heir bodies with flowers just as craftsmen andpoets weave them into their work; the cottager cultivates his littlegarden, and the town artisan cherishes his flower-pots. However alienone's field of interest may be, flowers still make their appeal. I recallthe revealing thrill of joy with which, on a certain day, a quite ordinaryday nearly forty years ago, my eye caught the flash of the red roses amidthe greenery of my verandah in the Australian bush. And this bowl ofwall-flowers before me now--these old-fashioned, homely, shapeless, intimately fascinating flowers, with their faint ancient fragrance, theirantique faded beauty, their symbolisation of the delicate and contentedbeauty of old age--seem to me fit for the altar of whatever might be mydearest god.
