What reading level is Roses of Paestum book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Simeon Stylites, and asceticism not be judged entirely by its excesses.
In the adjacent fresco of the " Triumph of Death " the contrast between the contempla- tive life of the hermits and that of wordly vanity is vividly shown in the figure of St. Macarius who stands before a party of knights and ladies who are riding back from the chase, Palmers, Pilgrims, and Romers 67 and points them to three open coffins. The horses' nostrils are dilated with fear, one lady seems touched with pity, Uguccion...e is holding his nose at the sight, and the cavalcade rides on unheedingly.
Perhaps the earliest instance of the influ- ence of this eastern asceticism in the national as apart from the devotional literature of western Europe is the French poem on the life of St. Alexis written in the eleventh century. The details are softened, but the principles are unchanged. It tells how Alexis, the only son of Euphemian, a rich Roman lord, leaves his father's house on the evening of his marriage, bidding his wife take Christ alone for her husband, for in this world there is no perfect love, and all joy is turned to sorrow; and how he goes to Edessa, gives away all the money he has and lives as a beggar, and as such is given alms by two of his father's servants who have been sent to seek him.
