What reading level is English Hours book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I owe them, as an observer, a heavy debt of satisfaction, but I am too little of a botanist to pay them in their own coin. It has often seemed to me in England that the purest enjoyment of architecture was to be had among the SALISIURY CATHKDKAI, WELLS AND SALISBURY 117 ruins of great buildings. In the perfect building one is rarely sure that the impression is simply archi- tectural: it is more or less pictorial and romantic; it depends partly upon association and partly upon various accessorie...s and details which, however they may be wrought into harmony with the architectural idea, are not part of its essence and spirit. But in so far as beauty of structure is beauty of hne and curve, balance and harmony of masses and dimensions, I have seldom relished it as deeply as on the grassy nave of some crumbhng church, before lonely col- umns and empty windows where the wild flowers were a cornice and the saihng clouds a roof. The arts certainly hang together in what they do for us.
These hoary reUcs of Glastonbury reminded me in their broken eloquence of one of the other great ruins of the world — the Last Supper of Leonardo.
