To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
28* I cannot, however, confirm his judgment, nor admit his selection of instances, among painters ; he has looked to their manner only and habitual choice of subject, without feeling their power ; and has given work to the coarseness, mindlessness, and eclecticism of Guido and the Caracci, which, in its poetical demand of tenderness, might have foiled Pin- turicchio, of dignity, Leonardo, and of colour, Gioi^one. Digitized byLjOOQlC "1 " With that she dashed her pn the lips So dyed double red ;... Hard was the heart that gave the blow, Soft were those lips that bled." * The tenderness of mind begins to mingle with the outside colour, the Imagination is seen in its awakening. Next Shelley : *' Lamp of life, thy lips are burning Through the veil that seems to hide them, As the radiant lines of morning Through thin clouds ere they divide them." There dawns the entire soul in that morn- ing; yet we may stop if we choose at the image still external, at the crimson clouds. The imagination is contemplative rather than penetrative.
