What reading level is The Rudiments of Criticism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The same poet stands beside other water, not bright and moving, but dark, sullen, deep, and still, those cold, forbidding mysterious depths that contrast so strangely with the smiling, dancing, broken water below the mill. What words will he choose to fix for ever the essential things in this picture ?
A sluice with blackened waters slept.
It is impossible to paraphrase that ; there is more in the epithet ' blackened ' than colour, depth, mystery, an eerie feeling: there is something beyond exp...lanation, which in painting is called atmosphere, a thing to befeti, not talked about. There is * all the charm of all the Muses, flowering in a lonely word '.
Such words as these are the 4 inevitable ' or as Professor Saintsbury calls them the * absolute ' words : once used they are felt to be final, of the very nature of things ; no other words will do. They are perhaps, more than any other, the mark of genius, for to explain their genesis baffles criticism. It is not a question of keen observation and a good vocabulary, for the facts observed are obvious 74 Pictures in Poetry to all and the words are common to all ; it is the instinctive selection of fundamentals among all the facts observed and of the precise words out of the whole vocabulary.
