What reading level is Mysticism in Seventeenth Century English Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
** All that is said in his poetry for retirement is repeated in his essay Of Solitude, a piece of almost Augustan prose that ends with the thought : " I find I must take refuge at my Study at last, and there redeem the time that I have lost among the Learned. " Vaughan had the same love for seclusion. He gives this counsel in Retire- ment: If then thou woulds't unto my seat, Tis not th' applause, and feat Of dust, and clay Leads to that way, But from those follies a resolv'd Retreat.
Many of Tr...aherne's poems, also, some of which have been already noticed, recognize the need for solitude. The child is born speech- less, he says, "that he might in himself profoundly busied be. " Later, amid the distractions of life, these first divinely learned truths are forgotten. But man's happiness, as all mystics would agree, depends on his return, in seclusion from the world, to this state of childish receptivity.
Such retirement involves also abnegation. Mystical writers had long stressed this as one of the fundamental virtues.
