What reading level is The Queen of the Air : Being a Study of the Greek Myths of Cloud And Storm book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is more venom, mortal, inevitable, in a single word, sometimes, or in the gliding entrance of a wordless thought, than ever " vanti Libia con sua rena." But that horror is of the myth, not Digitized by Google ATHENA IN THE EAETH. 73 of the creature. There are myriads lower than this, and more loathsome, in the scale of being ; the links between dead matter and animation drift everywhere unseen.
But it is the strength of the base element that is so dread- ful in the serpent; it is the very... omnipotence of the earth. That rivulet of smooth silver — ^how does it flow, think you i It literally rows on the earth, with every 'scale for an oar ; it bites the dust with the ridges of its body. Watch it, when it moves slowly: — ^A wave, but without wind ! a current, but with no fall 1 all the body moving at the same instant, yet some of it to one side, some to another, or some forward, and the rest of the coil backwards; but all with the same calm will and equal way — no contraction, no extension ; one soundless, cause- less, march of sequent rings, and spectral procession of spotted dust, with dissolution in its fangs, dislocation in its coils.
