What reading level is The Grand Canyon of the Colorado : Recurrent Studies in Impressions And Appearances book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Certain points or knobs of smooth rock become spots of high light and great fields of half-light glow with a dull opalescence.
The fire-rocks in the Inner Gorge occasionally throw back shadowy glintings from mica ledges — as shad- owy as the lights seen in a dark mirror — ^but usu- ally these walls remain neutral and forbidding.
The River running between the walls is quite as unresponsive. Sometimes there is the flicker of wave foam, but usually the surface is lightless.
An angel's pathway and ...its broken reflection, flash- ing like a golden goblet sinking into the sea, are things that do not appear. The water is too turbid for bright reflection, too turbulent for pathways of light, too tossing for angel footfalls.
These dark walls and this whipsaw River with its metallic surge of sound seem to have little aflcinity with moonlight — ^moonlight that should be seen beside still waters with summer-night silences.
Again we fling back to a former conclusion that ro- mance and poetry are not fitted for the Canyon.
