What reading level is The Ruling Passion; Tales of Nature And Human Nature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The haste to get riches, the haste to climb upon some pinnacle of worldly renown, the haste to resolve mysteries — from these various kinds of haste are be- gotten no small part of the miseries and afflictions whereby the children of men are tormented: such as quarrels and strifes among those who would over- reach one another in business; envyings and jeal- ousies among those who would outshine one another in rich apparel and costly equipage; bloody rebel- lions and cruel wars among those who w...ould obtain power over their fellow-men; cloudy disputations and bitter controversies among those who would fain leave no room for modest ignorance and lowly faith among the secrets of religion; and by all these mis- eries of haste the heart grows weary, and is made weak and dull, or else hard and angry, while it dwelleth in the midst of them.
"But let me tell you that an angler's occupation is a good cure for these evils, if for no other reason, because it gently dissuadeth us from haste and lead- eth us away from feverish anxieties into those ways which are pleasantness and those paths which are 128 THE GENTLE LIFE peace.
