What reading level is The Lily of the Valley book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Do not bring into the world's bazaar or the speculation of politics those treasures in exchange for which you will be given glass trinkets.
You must trust the voice which commands nobility in all things, at a time when it begs you not to be uselessly lavish of yourself ; for, unhappily, men esteem you in proportion to your utility .without taking your worth into account. To employ an image which shall impress itself upon your poetic mind, be the cipher of inordinate size, traced in gold, or wri...tten in pencil, it will never be anything but a cipher.
As a man of the present day has said : " Never evince zeal ! " Zeal comes very near gullibility, and causes disappointments ; you will never find above you any fervor equal to your own ; kings, like women, believe that everything is their due.
However sad this principle may be, it is true, but never rob your soul of its flowers. Set your pure sentiments on inaccessible heights where their blos- soms may be ardently admired, and where the artist will dream almost affectionately of his masterpiece.
