What reading level is Lotus Eating a Summer book book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The tranquillizing friendliness of the country favors rejjose, perhaps inactivity and intellectual rest, but is always humane and elevating. The city, in its technical, social sense, is always ludicrous, and if it were possible, insulting in the country. There is nothing finer in Nature and Art than the sublime scorn inherent in their virginal purity. A great pic- ture will not be " seen, " nor a grand landscape " done. " In the crowds of listless idlers who infest Rome yearly, how many see the... Transfiguration, or hear the Miserere, or know the profound pathos of the Campagna? Nature and Art are veiled goddesses, and only Love and Humility draw the curtains. We must leave in the city, then, as far as possible, the social fictions of the city, if we hope ever to mas- ter them rather than to be mastered by them. And that is precisely what is most rarely done, precisely what we Americans do less than any other people. I remember, as we floated about the canals in Yenice, how we used to imagine a life and society worthy the climate and the jDoetic city.
