What reading level is Jacopone Da Todi Poet And Mystic 1228 1306 a Spiritual Biography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the world he had struggled with them for profes- sional and social supremacy. Now he struggled with them that he might win their souls. Hence the career of the wandering missionary, as it developed, made ever greater calls on his attention and energy; and ended by giving too much scope to the artist and orator, too little to the contemplative and penitent — a situation only too common in the lives of great preachers, teachers, and revivalists. In one of his most personal poems, ^ he describe...s the constant effort to attain the "golden mean" of a perfectly balanced inner and outer life, which continued to torment him even after he had submitted to the guidance of an external rule: the impossibility of achieving an abstinence which will yet leave the body strong enough to bear its burdens, a life of prayer and silence which shall yet fulfil its duty to the world. He wants to be despised of men, but cannot go in rags without attracting their notice, and consequently becoming puffed up and in- jured by vanity.
