To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And many people could bear their witness that when years begin to be felt and memory is not what it was, the one poet whose lines come back with the old certainty is Walter Scott, and particularly the author of Marmion. Is that a gift that poets can afford to despise altogether? Has there not been loss as well as gain in the difficulty of the English poetry of the last hundred years? Poetry, once the dangerous fascinator of youths and maidens, the tempter whose magical delights were the terror ...of grave parents, has now for evil and for good become a thing which only grave people touch. The boys and girls who steal from the learning made easy of modem school-books to spend their time with Shelley or Wordsworth or Tennyson are not likely to fall victims to the vices of the Idle Apprentice. They are much more likely to give trouble by taking life too seriously. And, meanwhile, the rest are left out. The high intellectualism of all the poets since Scott has built a fence of difficulties round the garden of the Muses wh^ch only the nimble-witted can overleap.
