What reading level is The Spiritual Message of Dante book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such is the warning which is heard as the pilgrims are about to leave the second terrace ; but the canto is not to close with a warning voice which might strike terror into the heart. When all is still, Virgil speaks and draws attention to the beauties and splendours with which heavenly love surrounds man. Heaven is calling men upward ; eternal glories are around : it is the earth-directed gaze which proves men's ruin. It is not one fault only, viz. Envy, which causes the trouble : it is the lo...w attitude of mind out of which envy springs : " Chiamavi il cielo, e intorno vi si gira, Mostrandovi le sue bellezze eterne, E 1' occhio vostro pure a terra mira ; Onde vi batte chi tutto discerne. " (Purg. Xiv. 148-151. ) Men should lay the blame upon their low desires, EDUCATIVE DISCIPLINE 163 rather than complain of heaven's chastisement. With a vision of a radiant angel, and the sound of voices which sing " Blessed are the merciful " and " Rejoice thou that conquerest, " the pilgrims pass on to the next terrace, and enter upon a stair- way less steep than those previously encountered.
