What reading level is King Candaules book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No, the most finished work that heaven has ever given to earth, since theday that Prometheus held the flame under the right breast of thestatue of clay, cannot thus be kept hidden in the chill shadow of thegynaeceum. Were I to die, then the secret of this beauty would for everremain shrouded beneath the sombre draperies of widowhood! I feel myselfculpable in its concealment, as though I had the sun in my house, andprevented it from illuminating the world. And when I think of thoseharmonious lin...es, those divine contours which I dare scarcely touch witha timid kiss, I feel my heart ready to burst; I wish that some friendlyeye could share my happiness and, like a severe judge to whom a pictureis shown, recognise after careful examination that it is irreproachable, and that the possessor has not been deceived by his enthusiasm. Yes, often do I feel myself tempted to tear off with rash hand those odioustissues, but Nyssia, in her fierce chastity, would never forgive me. Andstill I cannot alone endure such felicity.
