What reading level is Sweetness And Light book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
particles in words like absorb, con- sider, extract, to take the first that occur, he will avail himself of them, as further adding to the resources of expression. The elementary particles of language will be realised as colour and light and shade through his schol- arly living in the full sense of them.
Still opposing the constant degrada- tion of language by those who use it carelessly, he will not treat coloured glass as if it were clear; and while half the world is using figure uncon- sciou...sly, will be fully aware not only of all that latent figurative texture in speech, but of the vague, lazy, half- formed personification — a rhetoric, depressing, and worse than nothing, because it has no really rhetorical motive — which plays so large a part there, and, as in the case of more STYLE. 107 ostentatious ornament, scrupulously exact of it, from syllable to syllable, its precise value.
