What reading level is Visions And Revisions; a book of Literary Devotions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Phantom-like in his gleaming ornaments, a king of Lost Atlantis, he waits the hour of his release.
And not only is he the king of Shadows ; he is also the king of Players, the Player-King.
El Greco has painted him holding two sceptres, one of which, resembling a Fool's Bauble, is tipped with the image of a naked hand — a dead, false hand — symbol of the illu- sion of Power. The very crown he wears, shimmering and unnaturally heavy, is like the 6 81 VISIONS AND REVISIONS crown a child might have... made in play, out of shells and sea-weed.
The disenchanted irony upon the face of this figure; that look as of one who — as Plato would have us do with kings — has been dragged back from Contemplation to the vul- garity of ruling men; has been deliberately blent by a most delicate art with a queer sort of fantastic whimsicality.
"Le Roi Ferdinand" might almost be an en- larged reproduction of some little girl's Doll- King, dressed up in silver tinsel and left out of doors, by mistake, some rainy evening.
