To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One mourns that he is compelled to see them, for he would like to fix his attention exclusively, if that were possible, upon such glorious things as the sonnet opening with If thou must love me, let it be for naught Except for love's sake only — Arnold. — Matthew Arnold was born in 1822. It was not until 1865 that he began to make much impression by his prose writings; but between 1849 and 1855 he had made a very defi- nite place for himself with those who read poetry, and a place the like of w...hich he alone, in English poetry, has rilled. No one else has, in English poetry, written with such philosophic seren- ity of thought, nor does any one else have, in quite such large measure as in Arnold's writing, the lucidity, flexibility, and sanity of the classical spirit. His love of Goethe and of the Greeks aided in this respect his native endowment of tempera- ment. Arnold had an inborn love for nature, too ; but it was as a student of Wordsworth that he gained a definite point of view and a strong power of vision in relation to nature.
