What reading level is A Day book of Walter Savage Landor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All the imitative arts have delight for the principal object : the first of these is poetry ; the highest of poetry is tragic. Epicurus, Leontion, and Ternissa.
76 AUGUST August 1 8 Epicurus. The theatre is delightful when we erect it in our own house or arbour, and when there is but one spectator.
Leontlon. You must lose the illusion in great part, if you only read the tragedy, which I fancy to be your meaning.
Epicurus. I lose the less of it. Do not imagine that the illusion is, or can be, or... ought to be, complete. If it were possible, no Phalaris or Perillus could devise a crueller torture. Here are two imitations : first, the poet's of the sufferer ; secondly, the actor's of both : poetry is superinduced. No man in pain ever uttered the better part of the language used by Sophocles. We admit it, and willingly, and are at least as much illuded by it as by anything else we hear or see upon the stage. Poets and statuaries and painters give us an adorned imitation of the object, so skilfully treated that we receive it for a correct one.
