What reading level is The Lake book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' Dear Miss Leicester, ' I wrote last week apologizing for troubling you again with a letter, pleading that the melancholy of autumn and the falling of the leaf forced me to write to someone. I wrote asking for a letter, say- ing that one about Italian sunshine would help me to live. I am afraid my letter must have seemed exaggerated. One writes out of a mood. The mood passes, but when it is with one, one is the victim of it. And this letter is written to say I have recovered somewhat from my d...epression of 14—2 212 THE LAKE spirits. ... I have found consolation in a book, and I feel that I must send it to you, for even you may one day feel depressed and lonely. Did you ever read " The Imitation of Christ " ? There is no book more soothing to the spirit than it ; and on the very first page I found some lines which apply marvellously well to your case : ' " If thou didst know the whole Bible outwardly, and the sayings of all the philosophers, what would it all profit thee without charity and the grace of God ?" ' Over the page the saint says : " Every man naturally desireth to know ; but what doth know- ledge avail without the fear of God ?" ' " Truly, a lowly rustic that serveth God is better than a proud philosopher who pondereth the course of the stars and neglecteth himself." ' " He that knoweth himself becometh vile to him- self, and taketh no delight in the praises of men." ' " If I knew all things that are in the world, and were not in charity, what would it profit me in the sight of God, who will judge according to deeds ?" ' " Cease from overweening desire of knowledge, because many distractions are found there, and much delusion." ' I might go on quoting till I reached the end, for on every page I note something that I would have you read.
