What reading level is From a College Window book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was reading the other day, in a strange book, of the influence of magic upon the spirit, the vague dreams of the deeper mind that could be awakened by the contemplation of symbols.
It seemed to me to be unreal and fantastic, a manufacturing of secrets, a playing of whimsi- cal tricks with the mind ; and yet I ought not to say that, because it was evidently written in good faith. But I have since reflected that it 128 From a College Window is true in a sense of all those who are sensitive to t...he influences of the spirit. Nature has a magic for many of us — that is to say, a secret power that strikes across our lives at intervals, with a message from an unknown region. And this message is aroused too by symbols ; a tree, a flash of light on lonely clouds, a flower, a stream — simple things that we have seen a thousand times — have sometimes the power to cast a spell over our spirit, and to bring some- thing that is great and incommunicable near us.
This must be called magic, for it is not a thing which can be explained by ordinary laws, or defined in precise terms; but the spell is there, real, insistent, undeniable; it seems to make a bridge for the spirit to pass into a far-off, dimly apprehended region; it gives us a sense of great issues and remote visions; it leaves us with a longing which has no mortal fulfilment.
