What reading level is Recollections of Aubrey De Vere book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All things had gone well with us, and we had cause for nothing but gratitude. Henry Taylor and I left Alice Taylor and Freddy at a German wateringplace, and returned to England in time for him to keep his appointment to the hour at the Colonial Office.
I may be allowed to add a few words respecting the great poet, and the great man with whom I travelled.
When poets were first given the title of the " irritable race, " the term must have been intended to apply, I think, rather to the Latin poets... than to the Greek. At least, it is difficult to suppose that one so large-hearted as Homer or so high-hearted as Sophocles, could have had about him anything so petty as habitual irritability when in health ; still less can we attribute it to the " myriad-minded man " Shakespeare. In the England of our own day the poet most entirely free from it was probably Sir Henry Taylor. This could not have been otherwise, for his most marked char- acteristic was " magnanimity. After an intimacy with him extending much over forty years, I never saw him once out of temper or once made anxious about trifles.
