What reading level is Thoughts for All Times book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From what secret repository has it drawn the colours to paint the corona and the gold to gild the cup? — colours and tints which not even a Raphael d'Urbino or a Titian can hope to reproduce. A few weeks ago nothing was to be seen but a dark and barren stretch of loamy soil. On it we let fall a seed. Nursed by the warm sunshine and balmy winds, and fed by the dew and rains, it was successfully ushered into active life ; and now, contemplate the beauteous object which that seed, like some skille...d architect, has planned and constructed out of the dull uncon- scious earth — a crimson rose, or, perhaps, a tiger lily. Who will explain the secret vital power in the germ ? Who will sit down and narrate to us how the various elements were selected and broueht toeether, and transformed and arranged, and adjusted in such perfect symmetry through the agency of that silent and simple germ ? A gigantic and hopeless task indeed ! Scientists, botanists and horticulturists may, indeed, give names to the different processes ; but then, to give a name is not quite the same thing as to ex- plain.
