What reading level is The Prairie And the Sea book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And this slender pillar grips the imagination, and will not let it go. It is imperial. The name of Caesar is not more regal. Where was it some old builder learned this lesson, this lithe stability, this might refusing to bow down beneath any burden? Was his the divine force of creation as the building of the sky? Far from that. His was the divine gift of imitation, of vision and reproduction. As Brunel- leschi beheld the dome of heaven and dared to reproduce it for a cathedral roof, and did it ...in such exultant fashion as that it still remains the wondered-at delight of many gen- erations, so he who fashioned some uncouth quarry-piece into a pillar, saw a tree-trunk spring from the brown mold and bear its boscage royally aloft, and from that tree-trunk fashioned his good design. The pillar is tree-trunk turned into stone. God invented the pillar: man copied it Let anybody stand in the serene presence of a winter forest, where trees are grown to manhood and their bulks lift m varied and imposing symmetry-stand and look at their brave boles lift themselves on high-and ask himself how differs this sight from the fashion of columns in the temple of the Acropolis, save that in the temple the pillars stood in decorous orderliness, while in the temple of the woods the pillars stood in glorious disorder, the rank growths of fruitful soil enriched with centuries of withered and fallen leaves.
