What reading level is The Cutting of An Agate book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When in the Middle Ages the pilgrim to St. Patrick's Purgatory found himself on the lake side, he found a boat made out of a hollow tree to ferry him to the cave of vision. In religious painting and poetry, crowns and swords of an ancient pattern take upon themselves new mean- ings, and it is impossible to separate our idea of what is noble from a mystic stair, where not men and women, but robes, jewels, incidents, ancient utilities float upward slowly over the all but sleeping mind, putting on... emotional and spiritual life as they ascend until they are swallowed up by some far glory that they even were too modern and momentary to endure.
All art is dream, and what the day is DISCOVEBIES 93 done with is dreaming ripe, and what art has moulded rehgion accepts, and in the end all is in the wine cup, all is in the drunken phantasy, and the grapes begin to stammer.
94 BISCOVEBIES THE TWO KINDS OF ASCETICISM It is not possible to separate an emotion or a spiritual state from the image that calls it up and gives it expression.
