What reading level is From the Elephant's Back book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Logic is not really an instrument: merely a method.
Describing, logic limits. Its law is causality.
Poetry by an associative approach transcends its own syntax in order not to describe but to be the cause of apprehension in others: Transcending logic it invades a realm where unreason reigns, and where the relations between ideas are sympathetic and mysterious—affective—rather than causal, objective, substitutional.[1] I call this The Heraldic Universe,[2] because in Heraldry the object is used i...n an emotive and affective sense—statically to body forth or utter: not as a victim of description.
The Heraldic Universe is that territory of experience in which the symbol exists—as opposed to the emblem or badge, which are the children of algebra and substitution.
It is not a “state of mind” but a continuous self-subsisting plane of reality towards which the spiritual self of man is trying to reach out through various media: artists like antennae boring into the unknown through music or paint or words, suddenly strike this Universe where for every object in the known world there exists an ideogram.[3] Since words are inadequate they can only render all this negatively—by an oblique method.
