What reading level is The Homes And Haunts of Our Elder Poets : With Portraits And Illustrations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Your life must be a continuous lecture on piety and goodness, on personal virtues and relative duties. Your religion must be carried into the elegant houses of the opulent, and the humble dwellings of the poor. You must be quick to discern and embrace opportunities to instruct the youth, to teach the children, and, like our Saviour, to take little ones into your arms and bless them. This branch of duty will be easier to you than to most minis- ters, both from natural disposition and habit." And... then, as if with the spirit of prophecy, this venerable man added : " Professing Chris- tians may censure you, and exclude you from the arms of their charity.
You will find it a serious trial to be deemed and treated as one whose belief and preaching are dangerous to the souls of your hearers ; to be daily misrepresented, and your usefulness impeded ; to be denied the Christian name, and pointed at before ignorant people as a moral pestilence." This is what did in fact happen to Mr. Emerson after he found himself unable to accept the creed and perform the rites of the sect to which he belonged; and a painful controversy, in which he took little part, followed the preaching of his sermon explaining his personal views of the Lord's Supper, in September, 1832.
