What reading level is Political And Literary Essays, 1908-1913 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Grundy imposesmore severe limitations on his muse. His translation, which is moreliteral, but at the same time singularly felicitous, is as follows: Hail, thou who hast the roses, thou hast the rose's grace! But sellest thou the roses, or e'en thine own fair face? Any one of literary taste will find it difficult to decide which ofthese versions to prefer, and will impartially welcome both. It cannot, however, be doubted that strict adherence to Dr. Grundy'sprinciple occasionally leads to result...s which are open to criticism fromthe point of view of English style. A case in point is his translationof Plato's epitaph on a shipwrecked sailor: Ναυηγοῦ τάφος εἰμί· ὁ δ' ἀντίον ἐστὶ γεωργοῦ· ὡς ἁλὶ καὶ γαίῃ ξυνὸς ὕπεστ' Ἀίδης. Dr. Grundy's translation, which is as follows, adheres closely to theoriginal text, but somewhat grates on the English ear: A sailor's tomb am I; o'er there a yokel's tomb there be; For Hades lies below the earth as well as 'neath the sea.
