To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We who so long read and laughed at Hood's puns and quips, — read and only laughed, when we should have thought and sighed, — we might have seen, if we had sought instruc- tion, and not mere recreation, that a great moralist, teacher, philanthropist ; an earnest hater of tyranny and wrong ; a warrior, with Damascus blade, on cant, and meanness, and servility, — was addressing us in parables which were only wasted, as others' parables have been, because our ears were too gross, our understandings... too dull and sordid, to perceive, or even seek, their deeper meaning. We might have discerned the lesson, but did not, because the laugh sufficed us.
Have I seemed to regret or condemn the law whereby the true poet is divorced from the hope of gain by his faculty ?
I surely did not mean it. Wisely, kindly devised is that Divine ordinance, "Ye cannot serve God and Mammon." The law is steadfast and eternal, — the seeming exceptions few and factitious. The greatest benefactors of mankind have waited tiU.
