What reading level is Walter Pater book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is also another drawing, a lithograph, by Mr. Bothen- stein, included in the Oxford Portraits. Neither of these is con- sidered wholly satisfactory by those who knew Pater best.
178 CHAP. VII.] PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS 179 fatigued, faded, lustreless air, as of a caged creature.
But this, I learn from those who knew him best, was in reality a false impression. He was undoubtedly robust; he was a patient, an unwearying traveller, often walking long distances without fatigue, and bear- ing ...uncomplainingly the extreme of Italian heat. But, like all impressionable, perceptive, artistic tempera- ments, his physical strength was apt to ebb and flow with his fiiner mood ; when he was pleased, interested, delighted, he was also equable, animated, alert. When he was aware that he was expected to fulfil anticipa- tions, conscious of social strain, uninterested, he be- came melancholy, drooping, unstrung. To any one introduced to him for the first time he at once gave the impression of great gentleness and sympathy.
