What reading level is Decadence And Other Essays On the Culture of Ideas book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is not a poet of the prodigious seventeenth century who does not come to life again 1 The first volume, and that alone, of Restif de la Bretonne's Monsieur Nicholas should be excepted.
GLORY AND IDEA OF IMMORTALITY 69 each day in the pious hands of a lover. Bossuet has not been more thumbed than this Recueil by Pierre du Marteu; x and, all things considered, the Plainte du cheval Plgase aux chevaux de la petite curie, by Monsieur de Benserade, is more agreeable and less dan- gerous readin...g than the Discours sur I'Histoire Uni- verselle. Is pompous moralizing after all so superior to sprightly burlesque? Every mountain plant offers an equal interest to the artless botanist. For him the euphorbia is not celebrated or the borage ridiculous (besides which it has the most beautiful eyes in the world), and he fills his bag till it can hold not another blade of grass. Literary glory was invented for the use of children preparing their examinations. It mat- ters little to the explorer of the mind of the past that this agreeable verse is by an unknown poet, or that pro- found thought by a despised thinker.
