What reading level is The Countess of Albany book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
what a misfor- tune to lose a person whom one adores and ven- erates at the same time. I think that if I still had Th^r^se (Mme. Mocenni) it would be some consolation; but there is no consolation for me. I have the strength to hide my feelings before the world, for no one could conceive my misfortune who has not felt it. • A twenty-six years* friendship with so perfect a ^being, and then to see him taken away from me at the very age when I required him most." Digitized by CjOOQIC FABRE. 271 Alf...ieri a perfect being — a being adored and venerated by Mme. d* Albany ! One cannot help, in reading these words, smiling sadly at the strange magic by which Death metamor- phoses those whom he has taken in the eyes of the survivors ; at the strange potions by means of which he makes love spring up in the hearts where it has ceased to exist, saving us from hypocrisy by making us really feel what is false to our nature, enabling us to lie to ourselves instead of lying to others. The Countess of Albany's grief was certainly most sincere ; long after all direct references to Alfieri have ceased in her * correspondence (I am speaking princi- pally of that with her intimates at Siena), there reigns throughout her letters a depression, an indifference to everything, which shows that the world had indeed become empty in her eyes.
