What reading level is The Celtic Temperament And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If great wealth makes a man actually feel the limits of his power, the be- stowal of a title makes him suddenly feel his weakness. Only then does he realise his inability to go further. He is in the position of a bird with clipped wings. He can soar no more, he has completed his circle ; he sits down and ponders over the folly of ambition and the futility of all worldly schemes. Every writer who becomes a member of an 72 PRACTICAL PESSIMISM academy, or of the titled aristocracy, makes a public ...confession of weakness. When Tennyson received a barony he became a negative pessimist. For the first time life appeared little. For the first time he stood in the presence of the actual. The office of poet laureate was already a device to reduce the poetic afflatus to a condition of national mediocrity, but the poet could still know some moments of personal freedom and the illusions of a far-off something, a vague hope, a mysterious destiny, a desire above and beyond the vain pomp of frivolous and childish minds.
