What reading level is Library Festival At Wellesley College June 4 1886 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" A good book is embodied and undying spirit. It is the thought and experience of a noble nature crystallized and endowed with an earthly immortality. It is the touch of a van- ished soul. It is a voice come back from the unseen world. On the titlepage of every true book might be inscribed the words: " Being dead he yet speaketh. " Carlyle, the great talker, pours unmeasured contempt upon talk ; and that which is mere talk deserves his fine scorn, all of it ; yet what is that scorn itself but t...alk ? " Words ! mere words ! " Ay ! and yet there is nothing so immortal as a true word. " Heaven and earth shall pass away, " says Jesus of Nazareth, " but my words shall not pass away. " Mere vibrations of the air he set in motion ; yet their music has been encircling the globe ever since. Frost cannot bite them, nor sun burn them, nor damp mildew them, nor rain wash them away, nor steam wreck them. Empires have risen and set, civilizations come and gone, cities been built and crumbled to the dust, even languages have died and been buried, and yet these words still live ; and, as the centuries go by, a constantly increasing congregation reverently gathers about the sacred speaker on the grassy slope of the Galilean hill, and listens to the words that can never die.
