What reading level is The Browning Cyclopedia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is illustrated by the case of Giotto.
At a stroke he drew a perfect Q. This could be done no better : it was perfect, complete, not to be surpassed. But Giotto planned a bell-tower, wonderful for beauty, but not even yet com- pleted. The conception outran the power to bring to perfection.
Round O's can be completed ; campaniles are still to finish.
And so the Greeks finished their bodies. The early masters who began by depicting souls have their work still to finish.
Their work is not comp...leted — can, in fact, never be finished — because the soul is infinite. No doubt, he says, the early painters had to meet the objection, "What more can you want than Greek art ? " They answered, " To paint man — to make his new hopes shine through his flesh." New fears glorify his rags. To bring the invisible full into daylight, what matters if the visible go to the dogs ? How much they dared, these early masters 1 The first of this new development, however imperfect, beats the best of the old.
