What reading level is The Philosophy of Style; Together With An Essay On Style book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If we hold a flower to the nose for long, we become insensible to its scent. We say of a very brilliant flash of lightning that it blinds us ; which means that our eyes have for a time lost their ability to appreciate light. After eating a quantitj'' of honey, we are apt to think our tea is without sugar. The phrase " a deafening roar," implies that men find a very loud sound temporarily incapacitates them for hearing faint ones. To a hand which has for some time carried a heavy body, small bod...ies afterwards lifted seem to have lost their weight.
Now, the truth at once recognized in these, its extreme manifestations, may be traced throughout. It may be shown that alike in the reflective faculties, in the imagina- tion, in the perceptions of the beautiful, the ludicrous, the sublime, in the sentiments, the instincts, in all the mental powers, however we may classify them — action exhausts ; and that in proportion as the action is violent, the subse- quent prostration is great.
60. Equally, throughout the whole nature, may be traced the law that exercised faculties are ever tending to resume their original state.
