What reading level is Pleasures of Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One dwarf is measured by an- other. The fanciful lyrist looks tall when Pindar 98 pleasures of Xiterature is put out of sight. This is like boarding up West- minster Abbey, and all the cathedrals, and de- ciding on the merits of a church, by comparing it with the newest Gothic design that, sent too soon to the roadside, implores of every passer-by the charity of a steeple.
XV POETRY, ITS SHAPES AND BEAUTIES F)OETRY is the first pleasure of literature that captivates the eye and the heart. It is... the pearl shining in the bosom of the story. What- ever of beautiful, instructive, or alluring, belongs to philosophy, history, or fiction, is wrapped up in poetry. It sets the hardest lesson to music. Epicurus might have rejoiced to send his pupils to Lucretius, and the Roman farmer have found his text-book in the Georgics.
The Temple of Fame contains no sepulchres so enriched by love as those of the poets. Their memory is bound up with the histories of kings and nobles. Davenant records, in musical prose, some of the rare achievements of minstrelsy.
