What reading level is Longinus On the Sublime book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Oft to the gods, I ween, their hands are raised.
Their inward parts in ewl case upheaved '.
Any one, I think, will see that there is more em- broidery than terror in it all. Now for Homer; take one instance out of many : — As when a wave swoln by the wild wind's blore ' Down from the clouds upon a ship doth light, ^ The text of the original appears to be faulty here.
' Aristeas, an early poet of Proconnesus, wrote an epic on the Arimaspi (a one-eyed people of .the far North, mentioned by Herodo...tus, who says, iv. 26, that their name was formed by the Greeks from two Scythian words, 'Arima,' one, and ' spous,' an eye).
' blore, it e. blast. Ci. ' The west wind and the north join in a sudden blore,' Chapman, The word is approved by Johnion as an ' expressive ' one.
Sect. X Concerning Sublimity 2 f And the whole hulk with scattering foam is white, And through the sails all tattered and forlorn Roars the fell blast : the seamen with affright Shake, out from death a hand-breadth they are borne '.
