What reading level is The Torch, And Other Lectures And Addresses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Once, indeed, in the climax of the garden of Armida, the highest point of the mood is frankly given in a song. With all his epical dexterity, 274 THE INSPIRATION OF POETRY Tasso is primarily lyrical by genius, and his love of landscape, music, and the emotional disburdening of his spirit are forms of his lyricism. Beauty, grace, kind- ness, gentleness, nobility, are the things he loved and responded to, and rather with a lament than with a pean. For the scene of life is presented with vigor in ...the action, it is true, by an intellectual tour de force in description, of which he had learned the art from books such as Homer; but the scene of life is also and more markedly represented with great melancholy in the thought and after-issue of the action, with unceasing and irrepressible sadness. The history of love in the poem is nowhere a happy history, and Tasso pleaded this fact in his strife with the ecclesiastics who disapproved of these scenes. The whole field of life here represented is one of sorrow and death — the woes of men; but the great test of the militant spirit of life — delight in vic- tory — is strangely absent.
