To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It takes up now one sub- ject and now another, and drops them without finishing them. It tries sensuality, and rebel* lion, and mysticism, and supernaturalism, and imperialism^ and spiritual religion, and nature- poetry, and hospitals, and crude coarseness, and crime, and sentimental love, and pessi- mism, and it composes hosts of little lyrics about nothing. Everything by turns, and noth- ing long. It amuses itself with difficult metres^ and surprising rhymes, and elaborated phras* ing, and pa...inting in words, and scientific tricks of versing* It has no great matter, no fine think- ingj and no profound passion, and it is the re- verse of simple. And the world is becoming tired of it, and longs for the advent of youth, originality, joy, hope, and the resurrection of vital ideas, in poetry. Along with this, and al- wa5rs accompanying this prolific littleness, is a terrible recrudescence of criticism. Every magazine, all the daily papers, every publish- ing house, is filled with essays and articles and books about poetryj carping, or denouncing, 29 or satirizing, or praising: without knowledge, and in astonishing excess.
