What reading level is The Literature of Ecstasy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. And now I begin to understand why I was imprisoned so many years in this lonely chamber, and why I could never break 94 THE LITERATURE OF ECSTASY through the viewless bolts and bars ; for if I had sooner made my escape into the world, I should have grown hard and rough, and been covered with earthly dust, and my heart might have become callous by rude encounters with the multitude. . . . But living in solitude till the fulness of time was come, I still kept the dew of my youth and the freshne...ss of my heart. ... I used to think I could imagine all passions, all feelings, and states of the heart and mind; but how little did I know! . . . Indeed, we are but shadows ; we are not endowed with real life, and all that seems most real about us is but the thinnest sub- stance of a dream, — till the heart be touched. That touch creates us, — ^then we begin to be, — ^thereby we are beings of reaUty and inheritors of eternity. . . .
And the Emerson poem in prose is given herewith : O poet!
