What reading level is Indian Ballads book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE DESTRUCTION OF YADAVAS. 97 Bright her brow as the autumn moon, — ' " ' Black her locks as the clouds of June, — Round her neck as the ring-dove's throat, — Sweet her voice as the koirs^"note, — Slender her wilist as the lion's mate, — Stately her pace as the elephant's gait, — Dark her hair as the long black snake, — Lovely her hands as the pride of the lake, — Graceful her arm as the creeper's shoot, — Ruddy her lips as the vimba's ''"fruit, — Golden her face as the champaka's" 'hue, — Blu...shing her cheeks as the rosebud new, — ''* Smooth her limbs as the plantain's stem, — Piercing her eyes as the polished gem, — White her teeth as the jasmine's smile, — ^ ' * Strong in her beauty a saint to beguile.
"" Some of these similes are not very consonant with European ideas, as the comparison of the tapering back-hair to a snake, and the slow, languid step to ^an elephant's motion; but the latter especially is too nniversal a point of description, and too charac- teristic of Indian notions of elegance, to be omitted.
