What reading level is The Poetry of Architecture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
75. Figs. _g_, _n_, _o_ are Italian. Fig. _g_ has only been given, because it is constantly met with among the more modern buildings ofItaly. Figs. _n_ and _o_ are almost the only two varieties of chimneyswhich are to be found on the old Venetian palaces (whose style is to betraced partly to the Turk, and partly to the Moor). The curved lines of_n_ harmonize admirably with those of the roof itself, and itsdiminutive size leaves the simplicity of form of the large building towhich it belongs ent...irely uninterrupted and uninjured. Fig. _o_ is seenperpetually carrying the whiteness of the Venetian marble up into thesky; but it is too tall, and attracts by far too much attention, beingconspicuous on the sides of all the canals.
76. Figs. _q_, _r_, _s_ are Swiss. Fig. _r_ is one specimen of anextensive class of decorated chimneys, met with in the northeasterncantons. It is never large, and consequently having no false elevationof character, and being always seen with eyes which have been preparedfor it, by resting on the details of the Swiss cottage, is lessdisagreeable than might be imagined, but ought never to be imitated.
