What reading level is The Symbolisms of Heraldry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Margaret, Countess of Richmond, and mother of Henry VII. , also adopted the same device.
A curious bearing is that of Alten, namely, on a white shield, a bend of red roses and red lozenges, alternately disposed. I think that Constancy to the Red-rose seems evidently to be alluded to in this shield, since the lozenge was the emblem of Constancy.
It is singular that no instance occurs of the bearing of the Pansy or the Violet in English armory. One would have thought that the " Pansy for thoughts..., " and " Violets dim, but sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes, or Cytherea's breath, " would have appealed as strongly as any other flowers, to the fervently poetic minds of the knights of the tourney, who seemed to have been so conscious that they were living in a romantic and poetic age. A work, which I have not had the pleasure of seeing, was published a good many years ago on the " Flowers in Heraldry. " It has become ex- ceedingly scarce. My examples are from " Burke's Armory " and " Papworth's Ordinary.
