What reading level is The Shadows of the Lake book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus pain is part — A necessary part — of all the growth To higher order in the race of life, And grows with other growth, as needs arise.
Trees, flowers, and all the lower forms of life Feel not, or feel without the sense of pain As we should understand it, moving on Toward the best by some attracting power Of light or heat. But slowly, as growth tends To free existence, a more subtle check Must guide the impulses, and so we see What we call suffering — though unlike to ours — Spread through t...he lower world, until at last It reaches man in his more savage state, 43 FATHER AND CHILD And rises on to mental grief, and then To the deep sorrow of the inmost soul.
Yet must we use great care if we would judge Of others by ourselves ; else shall we err Most grievously about the love of God, And cause our souls a needless suffering ; For when a man with all his nervous powers — Needed for his high nature — looks below. And sees some twisting worm, that turns and rolls As if in torture, he may, knowing naught Of all the laws that cause those writhing turns, Dream that it suffers deeply.
