What reading level is The Vital Study of Literature, And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Howbeit, only on condition of ascetic self-de- nial may higher quests enjoy their fair fruition.
Not that any mystic merit of the sacrifice secures our reward. Not that there has been providen- tial malice in the universal order requiring our deliberate purchase with pain of the more endur- ing pleasure. Merely, that to no one may all at once be granted. With our inevitable quite inno- cent limits of time and space and vitality, choice 158 SCHILLER must be exercised as discretely as may be, and... the consequences abided by. This simple fact, when first intimately realized, causes each soul in turn acutest suffering ; and hence to mankind the prom- ises of compensation in some life-to-come have been reiterated pathetically, and cherished in sheer despair of egoism. On these Schiller will not place reliance : I also in Arcadia was bom; And in my childish years Nature to grant me happiness hath sworn.
I also in Arcadia was born, Yet my short springtide yielded only — tears!
Enumerating his sacrifices, his illusions, and disillusionments, shrinking from the cynical on- looker who recks not of invisible treasures, dis- quieted, disconsolate, all but remorseful for the irrevokable worthy choice, he obtains this oracle : "I love with one love all my children," cried A genius veiled from sight.
