What reading level is Sprigs of Heather: Or, the Rambles of 'may-Fly' With Old Friends book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If it is written that " man was not made to live alone," the same may be said of everything connected with his place of abode.
Nature is inimical to loneliness. The marriage-tie is recognised throughout all her departments. The leaves on the branch nestle and whisper together. The flowers of the field gather in clusters and mingle the odours of their fragrant breath. Birds and beasts love to amalgamate in flocks and herds. Old maids summon together their genial chatty cronies, and " without hel...p of man/' dispose of life and character over the " cups that cheer but not inebriate." Even the miser cannot dispense with the company of his money-bags, and hears in the chink of the goldfinches imprisoned therein a music that touches the very strings of his sordid soul.
The man is not without his religion ; for he worships an idol.
Why, then, should the streams be an exception to this law of Nature.? And what can be more beautiful than two of these nurslings of Nature, after devious windings through glen and meadow, among fern and broom, under cliff and alder, at last mingling their waters, and, like a couple of fond united hearts, flowing on in a single tide to the sleep of the great river, or the greater sea ?
