What reading level is The Poets And Nature Reptiles Fishes And Insects book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But reptiles and insects are words which, outside of poetry and hyperbole, have exact meanings, and there is nothing in the nature of these creatures to make their name a term of reproach, or befitting as a synonym for worthless men.
What has an underhanded, sneaking coward in common with the ineffable splendour of forest-ruling pythons? Where does the comparison begin between the cringing, malice- mongering woman-wretch and the awfulness of the elegant and courageous vipers ? Why are the misch...ief-making and the worthless called by the name of harmless, useful toads? Does the crocodile properly illustrate small, pitiful hypocrisy? No : I cannot admit that the baseness of humanity finds any reflection in reptiles; nor yet in insects. It is, of course, a gross degradation to a human being that he should so lose all appearance of reason in his conduct as to seem no better than an unreasoning insect. But meanwhile it should not be forgotten that in this declension of humanity from its own noble level there is no ground for making the insect sink with the man.
