To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By no means. The intention of people in purchasing a costly statue, is not so much to describe the qualities of the person represented, as to erect a monument to his memory, or to pay the debt of gratitude to his services and virtues; or perhaps to imitate in a degree the example of ancient nations. People do purchase poems, and always would, in preference to statues, if such poems described faithfully the heroes of the country. But per haps that genius does not exist who can produce such a poe...m, and therefore the sculptor and the painter are called to perform the work. Another advantage of Poetry over the arts of Painting and Sculpture is, that a greater number of copies may be circulated ; there can be but one of marble, and that liable to crumble under the dilap idating hand of time, or to be erased by the ruin of revo lutions. Poetry is that which exists in the mind ; Paint ing and Sculpture in the organs of vision and feeling. The forms created in painting are often the result of imagination, and a painter must necessarily be a poet, if he would produce any lively and original picture.
