What reading level is Wise, Witty, And Tender Sayings in Prose And Verse, Selected From the Works of George Eliot book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A man vows, and yet will not cast away the means of breaking his vow. Is it that he distinctly means to 288 George Eliot {in propria persona).
break it? Not at all ; but the desires which tend to break it are at work in him dimly, and make their way into his imagination, and relax his muscles in the very moments when he is telling himself over again the reasons for his vow.
— — We are not afraid of telling over and over again how a man comes to fall in love with a woman and be- wedded to her, o...r else be fatally parted from her. Is it due to excess of poetry or of stupidity that we are never weary of describing what King James called a woman's ' majfdom and her fairnesse,' never weary of listening to the twanging of the old Troubadour strings, and are comparatively uninterested in that other kind of ' makdom and fairnesse ' which must be wooed with industrious thought and patient renun- ciation of small desires ? In the story of this passion, too, the development varies : sometimes it is the glorious marriage, sometimes frustration and final parting.
