What reading level is The Uses of Solitude book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All the tuneful choir Of bird and beast, though scourged by him and chased, Would throng around his hermitage to hear The gushing cataracts of his wild harmony.
As, in the dewy morn or quiet eve.
He sat long hours discoursing in sUch numbers As moved his soul and into wild convulsions Cast his frail body.
Thus perfection came.
Came in convulsions and announced itself.
Uprose this wondrous man and girt around With grand assurance of capacity, Not doubting the result of his hard toils.
He sought ...the world-— the world that keeps the keys Of fair renown — and called on kings to listen.
Kings came, and multitudes in tumults came, Thronging the choking theatres, to hear The demon Paginini !
28 Thus the power Of Labor, to perfect a single art, With Solitude combined, in this one case Sublime appears.
And is it not enough To be the first in any single art?
V.
But not alone for self-aggrandizement Doth Solitude her offices employ ; She hews Ambition of its ruggedness ; To turbulence, serenity imparts ; Subdues the rebel thought, and tames the heart—* Doming the spirit in Tranquility -^ To softest inclinations ; for the mind.
