What reading level is The Sketch Book: Legends of the Conquest of Spain. a Life of Washington Irving book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In North Wales, the peasantry kneel and pray over the graves of their deceased friends for several Simdays after the interment; and where the tender rite of strewing and planting flowers is still practiced, it is always renewed on Easter, Whitsimtide, and other festivals, when the season brings the companion of former festivity more vividly to mind. It is also invariably performed by the nearest relatives and friends; no menials nor hirelings are employed, and if a neighbor yields assistance, i...t would be deemed an insult to offer compensation.
I have dwelt upon this beautiful rural custom, because, as it is one of the last, so is it one of the holiest offices of love. The grave is the ordeal of true affection. It is there that the divine passion of the soul manifests its superiority to the instinctive impulse of mere animal attachment. The lat- ter must be continually refreshed and kept aUve by the pres- ence of its object; but the love that is seated in the soul can Uve on long remembrance.
