What reading level is The Romantic Roussillon in the French Pyrenees book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The marble contrasts with a wooden Madonna, which we found in a dark corner, carved two or three hundred years earlier. This Byzantine conception possesses a rare dignity of line : she has the face of a world-mother, a Demeter. Her hands do not touch the Child on her knees, they are raised around Him as Something apart from the world. 1 It is wholly impersonal, this abstract of a Divinity, whereas the fourteenth-century work embodies a personal ideal which might be realized in flesh and blood. ...Art has become Beauty's thrall.
For us Vernet meant first and foremost Canigou. We were underneath it, in one of its own valleys : almost you could have imagined sliding down from the Peak into the hotel gardens : yet hours of fierce scramble would hardly have done it. As for the country, it was like nothing we had seen. The flanks of the green narrow valleys, hung with beech woods and silver birch and pine trees, were fiery with autumn colour and smoked with misty greys and browns : thin threads and heavier gushes from the snows tumbled and talked in every gorge : above, where trees never grew, the gaunt peaks and slopes changed from hour to hour with sun and cloud.
