What reading level is The Madness of the Arts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Subtle da Vinci with his poised debate Had yet a cold venom of strength about him. And Botticelli's long-legged hoydens run With all the coltish vigour of the Spring ; And roaring Rubens' passion of molten flesh Confronts the Spaniard's insolent restraint ; And all those twinkling Dutch interiors Challenge you to the death for love of soap. As for that burning blazon of the South, That splendid livery of ardent tints, Whose blue cries Brother to the sea and sky, Never was painted love more blit...hely fierce.
No need to justify the poet's sword !
For whether Dante drave it Up to the hilt in Hell's remorse, or Chaucer Tossed it like Tallifer before his spears, Or Shakespeare bore it like the finger of doom, Or those brave minstrels of the old romaunts Upheld it like a knight should or a saint, It was the poet's touchstone, and his sign.
21 (2) It passed, it passed !
And with that fierceness went the old belief. Hot faith If only on the colour of God's sky ; But surely, too, in every-daily life; In simple loyalties, in simple lusts; In the strong sanity of common things.
