What reading level is The Power of Sound book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We turn now to the arts of representation. In days of transition and §11. The scepticism, and destruction or dispersion of ideals. Poetry has, in the artsofiepre- universality of its range, a decided advantage over the other repre- p"e\*y°°" sentative arts. For Poetry takes for its subject-matter the emotional aspects of all things, from the most abstract to the most concrete.
It can deal with the most various and complex conceptions, with the intellectual and even the questioning view of life,... as much as with the most direct and simple facts. Poetry may have its great ages, in the sense that only at a few points in history is a large amount of poetical work produced whose objective excellence ensures its prolonged survival : but as all the elements of life can be dealt with in words, and all that present any sort of emotional interest in poetry, upheavals and revolutions only multiply the facets in which this art reflects the world.
The result may of course be a very wide diversity of taste in the public, and great uncertainty as to how much in the poetry of the age has the enduring vital quality: but for all that a generation of intellectual activity is likely to find for itself in its own poetry utterances as vividly 394 FURTHER PECULIARITIES OF delightful, and with perhaps as much of illumination in their broken lights, as in those treasures of the past which were born of some enormous bias or wide unanimity of life and thought, and have been carried down to us with all the prestige of a more homogeneous age.
