What reading level is The Dark Ages book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
one garth to another in the ordinary way of business.
But he has at the same time one of the strong Viking motives — the desire to know the world, and the sense that home-keeping wits are dull. "Anything will pass at home " {dcelt es heima hvat), and " a man that has travelled far and seen many lands will know what moves in the mind of the wise." Moderation is taught, much as it was by the Wise Men of Greece, and by the Preacher in Jerusalem. "A man should be wise and not too wise, for the hear...t of the wise is seldom glad : let no man know his fate ; his head will be free of care." Silence is good: the wise man does not readily give himself away. But he knows how to speak: the fool either sits glum or talks too much.
"Archdunce (FimhtdfawM) is he who can speak naught, for that is the mark of a fool." Like all sound moralists, the Norwegian proverbs give different sides of their matter, and are not scrupulous about contradictions. The prudent wary character is ad- mired. " A fool thinks all that smile on him are his friends." But there is also a contemplative fool, "awake all the night, troubled about all things, and in the morning he is weary and all his vexation is as it was before." The wise man renders to others their own measure, " laughter for laughter, and leasing for lies." But also it is well to be free, and not too careful.
