What reading level is Things of the Mind [microform] book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whatever can get upon its feet and stand there in spite of all enemies, is thereby self -consecrated, in his eyes, as a part of the eternal laws. The force which on its way to great achievements refuses to be con- trolled, the genius which acknowledges no law but itself, are not only wonderful but sacred and divine. Mahomet may be lustful, Crom- well cruel, Luther coarse and sensual. Burns a drunkard, Rousseau utterly abject; but to remark this is the most unmistakable proof that one is a block...head. Let us bear in mind that Carlyle holds nature to be divine and all natural forces to be sacred, and we shall easily get at his point of view. These men are natural, and it is therefore simply absurd to suppose that they can be immoral. With what devout reverence and admiration does he not follow Mirabeau in his lust-defiled and madly reckless career.? But the Count is natural, a swallower of formulas, a contemner of custom ; and is not this divine, is it not the highest.? Carlyle has some most eloquent passages on the quite infinite nature of duty, and Teufels- drockh, even in the sorrowfulest wretchedness 1 66 THINGS OF THE MIND, of unbelief, has still this light to convince him that the world is God's and not the devil's.
