To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It seems to me to be one of the fine arts, if I may say so. Painting is very delightful. It gives us the lineaments of those whom we love and wish to remember, but a painting is fixed to one place ; it cannot be carried about very much, and only a limited number of people can see it. But a Poet writes a beautiful line, and it is fixed in a man's head, and be he rich or poor, high or low, he can carry it about in his head to the very day of his death. As with painting so with sculpture. It is fi...ne, and it is still more difficult for people to see, but they can remember and bear with them the fine sentiments which any Poet has expressed. In fact there is an old saying that a thing of beauty is a joy for ever, and I should say that a fine line of poetry such as many of those which Wordsworth wrote is a joy for ever for a man to carry about with him wherever he goes. (Applause. ) Canon Rawnsley and I are great admirers of poetry, and it is rather a curious thing that when we write to one another we generally write in verse, but the curious part of it is that we neither of us can read the other one's writing.
