What reading level is Portfolio of An Artist book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is his, if he will. He may divest himself of it ; he may creep into a corner, and abdicate his kingdom, as most men do, but he is entitled to the world by his constitution. In proportion to the energy of his thoughts and will, he takes up the world into himself. * * * Nature stretcheth out her arms to embrace man, only let his thoughts be of equal greatness. Willingly does she follow his steps with the rose and the violet, and bend her lines of grandeur and grace to the decoration of her dar...ling child. Only let his thoughts be of equal scope, and the frame will suit the picture. A virtuous man is in unison with her works, and makes the central figure of the visible sphere.
W. Emerson.
PORTRAIT.
He who'd paint the fair Must mix the blending colours, soft as air ; — To hit the piercing lustre of her eye. Must catch the light and azure of the sky : — To fill the piece with corresponding glow. Must dip his pencil in the eastern bow ; 124 Then o'er her locks and dimpled cheeks must shed The paley orange, and the lively red ; — Must shade the mellow back-ground of the scene With mingled tints of violet and green ; — Upon her lips, must smiles and graces play ; The coral melting in the dews of May, Must just disclose the ivory beneath ; — And though she breathe not, she must seem to breathe.
