What reading level is The Flower-Fields of Alpine Switzerland: An Appreciation And a Plea book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of course, there are degrees even in natural felicity, and the Orchids — with the excep- tion of the creamy-white Butterfly Orchis — are not at their best if the predominant Clover be EVENING among the fields of pink Bistort at Lac Champex ; sunset-glow on the Grand Combin, July.
THE JUNE MEADOWS 7S red. But, speaking generally, the groundwork of Clovers is a most valuable element in the colour- ing of these pastures. Were this groundwork removed we should wonder why the fields and slopes looke...d so meagre and thin. And this is also true # of' Euphrasia officinalis, the Eyebright, a very precious, though humble denizen of the fields in July. This plant, by the way, owes its English name, not to its flower (as in the case of the little bright-blue Speedwell, Veronica Chamasdrys, often erroneously called Eyebright), but to an infusion of the plant which long ago was supposed to cure defective vision. Milton, indeed, causes the Archangel Michael to use it upon Adam : " . . . then purged with Euphrasy and Rue The visual nerve, for he had much to see." Like the Clovers, the Eyebright should cer- tainly not be ignored, though it is easy to do so.
