What reading level is The Old College Being the Glasgow University Album for Mdccclxix book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" What a piece of work is man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculty ; in form and moving how express and admirable : in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god : the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals, and yet what is this quintessence of dust. " This is the great contrast which the tragic and comic drama alike bring out for us, the contrast of the mighty hopes and thought of man and the trifling circumstances out of which he has to build his life : and the tru...th of this contrast is the vindication of the morality of the Drama. It is the contrast that gives dignity both to life and art. Without the contrast of the higher life comedy sinks into the base form of farce : without the contrast of the lower necessities, tragedy becomes a mere cold picture of impossible virtues. And so we find in life that there is a kind of merriment which can never be serious ; but this is found only in utterly vulgar and meaningless characters : and on the other hand there is a kind of ascetic virtue that can never relax or unbind, that ignores little things, that never confesses weakness in itself or pardons it in others.
