What reading level is Portraits of the Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I furnished the house for a friend who is ex- pected, I am only the watchman and guardian of the house. " I am quoting his words literally. He made the same reply to several persons, who were as much 132 HONORE DE BALZAC amazed as I. The riddle was soon solved by the marriage of Balzac to the woman whom he had loved for so long a time.
There is a Turkish proverb which says, "When the house is finished Death enters. " That is why sultans always take care to have a palace in course of constructio...n, which they are very careful not to finish. Life appears to want nothing to be complete save misfortune ; there is nothing to be so dreaded as a wish which has been fulfilled.
The famous debts were paid at last, the desired marriage was an accomplished fact, the nest made for happiness was lined with down and cotton ; and as if they had foreseen his approaching death, those who envied Balzac began to praise him. The "Parents pauvres " and " Cousin Pons, " in which the author's genius shone in all its brilliancy, were unanimously admired.
