from the height of my age

Poetry & Literature
London – as well as Lermontov and many others – is far from being a ‘juvenile’ author. From the height of my age I’ll say this: studying Lermontov at school is like teaching quantum physics in kindergarten.
Dear native English speakers!
Please advise if it's OK to put the phrase this way. Is the idea clear?
Probably 'From the perspective of my age (or my years)' would be better?
Thank you.
P.S. This is an essay.
